Construction on Depot Street in Driggs, Idaho is addressing stormwater management, sidewalks, and parking.
Notice the ponding of stormwater runoff on Depot Street after a rainstorm in May 2016, and the lack of sidewalks and defined parking spaces. The finished streetscape will address all of these issues.
An underground storage tank, known as an R-tank, was installed in August 2018 so that stormwater runoff will be stored out of sight until it can infiltrate the soil.
The beginning of the sidewalk is seen here at the intersection of Depot Street and Highway 33. This photo was taken shortly after the concrete was poured in early September, 2018.
Keep your eyes on the progress of the Depot Street improvements throughout the fall of 2018
and again in the spring of 2019.
