Engineering, stormwater design and trails in our downtown

by Rhonda Forrester

Time: 1 PM

Meeting Location: Riverbank Park Gazebo

Distance: 1 hour, 3 miles

Join us for a walking conversation about Civil Engineering and Urban Planning, with DDW Board member, Portland Trails member and Civil Engineer, Rhonda Forrester.

Curious about the engineering infrastructure working behind the scenes in our downtown? What do we, and should we, consider when connecting our neighborhoods? What’s so important about stormwater, anyway? Rhonda will share the planning and design necessary to create urban landscapes, and also talk a little about Westbrook history and the trails you can access right from downtown.

The meandering walk of just under one mile will start at the gazebo in Riverbank Park and our conversation will take us to the Cornelia Warren football field, and then along the river trail to the boardwalk.

I also wanted to follow up on part time time work on Jordan's farm. I'd mentioned it to him a few weeks ago and while he is all set with help, he was going to mention it to the folks in the oyster co-op at their next meeting, since folks are getting ready to start up for the season around mid April. Unfortunately that has been postponed a few times but it should be happening in a couple of weeks and he will ask.
