3.4Storm Sewer/Drainage th Stormwater drainage onboth Garnet Street and 168Avenue is currently conveyed along the existing urban street usingbituminous curbs which direct the runoff to twocurb-cuts located on th either side of Garnet Street, north of 168Avenue. An existing CMP culvert extends under Garnet Street in the general location of the curb-cuts to convey stormwater runoff from the west side of Garnet Street to the east side, where it then flows to a low-lying area on private property encumbered by a drainage and utility easement. In the event Council orders theseimprovements, staff will ensure that this overland flow path remains unobstructed following completion of the project. Stormwater ponding will not be required for this project since pavement widths and paving limits are proposed to remain the same. 3.5Streets 3.5.1Existing Typical Sections Garnet Street is centered in a 66foot right-of-way.
