Starting in 2015, Albany will require new land developments of one acre or more to install facilities to collect rainwater from impervious surfaces, like pavement and roofs, and let it seep into the ground. On a ride the other day, I finally saw one of these installations in action. (Imagine my excitement.)
Belmont Avenue, almost done
Albany’s project to replace two old culverts on Belmont Avenue S.W. looks like it’s almost finished. The road-closure signs were in some disarray on Sunday, perhaps shoved around by high winds. (And it wasn’t completely clear why the street was still closed to traffic as the pavement on the new crossing looked complete.)
