The East Lane Street drainage improvement project will comprise replacing the current stormwater pipe that runs through properties to the north of E. Lane Street. Parts of the current pipe are in bad condition and undersized, causing flooding and sinkholes. The new pipe will either follow roughly the current path, but along the rear of the properties on the north side of the 500 block of Lane Street, or it will run under Lane Street itself, or possibly partly under Lane Street and partly along its current path.
More details are forthcoming, but there will be a public meeting to share and gather information on this project. It will take place on April 24 from 5:00 to 6:30 at the Tarboro Road Community Center at 121 N. Tarboro Road. All are invited.
