A sewer interceptor is a piece of a sewer network used to control the flow of rainwater, stormwater, and wastewater. The project extends from north of Millbrook Road to inside I-440 at Crabtree Creek. For more information, please see the following project page from the City web site:

https://raleighnc.gov/projects/big-branch-sewer-interceptor-replacement

The second update will include Project Updates on Greenways & Parks in the Midtown Area, including but not limited to the Hodges Street Greenway Bridge, Big Branch Greenway and other upcoming projects in the Midtown CAC area. An early preview will be provided at an upcoming City event on September 20, Pizza in the Park. A link to the event page and survey is as follows:

I have also included the minutes from the last meeting for review and approval at our September meeting. The minutes also have the presentations included from the August meeting.
