Text Box: TOWN STORM DRAIN PROJECT TO BE IN 2008 COUNTY BUDGET By Sophie Keefer Mayor Beers reported at the Feb. 12 town council meeting that on January 12, 2007, she wrote to everyone who was at the Sept. 27, 2006 meeting in Glen Echo to note that the Chevy Chase storm drain project is moving forward and to remind them “that the Glen Echo project also needs to be (i) designed, and (ii) included in the upcoming capital budget.” Michael F. Mitchell, Senior Engineer, Department of Public Works and Transportation, responded on the same day as follows: “I understand your concern. Some background work has already been done on the storm drain evaluation for the Town of Glen Echo. However, given the funds needed to do the comprehensive, evaluation/design have been depleted, we need to wait until July 2007 (FY ’08) when additional funding will be provided to Storm Drain General (CIP 508180). I have already earmarked [a] portion of those funds to conduct the drainage study for the Town of Glen Echo. Once the study commences, I will keep you abreast of further developments.” He gave his phone number and said to contact him with any questions.
