Idaho Street from 42^nd to 40^th Street has been identified as a street where Evans can solve multiple infrastructure problems with one project. The existing waterlines under Idaho Street are old and undersized. There is no storm sewer infrastructure in Idaho Street causing the dirt road to be nearly impassable at times. To remedy these issues, Evans worked with CivilWorx to design the following: 

• Replacement of aging 6-inch waterline with 8-inch PVC waterline in Idaho, 40^th and 41^st Streets,
• Installation of storm sewer infrastructure to intercept and convey storm water to the detention  pond on the north side of 40^th Street, and 
• Pavement of Idaho Street to make it more drivable in storm events.

Along with the Idaho Street improvements, Evans/CivilWorx designed the following:

• Expansion of the existing Railroad detention pond on the north side of 40^th Street and west of Denver to store and release stormwater slowly into the existing downstream storm sewer infrastructure,
• Plan for extension of storm sewer from Railroad detention pond east on 39^th Street to bring stormwater to the pond. (preliminary design only), and
• Plan for additional storm sewer inlets along Denver Street between 39^th and 40^th Streets to bring more stormwater to the pond. (preliminary design only).
