Bellevue Park Ponds Retrofit Project 

Community Zoom Meeting:  February 11 at 7:00 p.m. 

 

Background:   

As reported in the September 2020 Grapevine, Capitol Region Water (CRW) presented a revised preliminary plan for the Bellevue Park Ponds Retrofit Project at the July meeting of the Ad Hoc Ponds Committee.  In response to community concerns, this plan recognized the historic significance of the park landscape and its character defining features. This proposal was favorably received by the Committee and neighborhood historic preservation professionals.   

 

In November, CRW submitted the revised preliminary plan to the PA State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) to initiate formal consultation on the project.  The SHPO provided a favorable review of the redesigned project in December.   

 

Next steps:  Community Zoom Meeting - February 11 at 7:00 p.m. 

The Bellevue Park Association and CRW will host a Community Zoom Meeting on February 11, 2021 at 7:00 p.m.  CRW will review the plans to improve and restore the Bellevue Park Ponds.  Pond improvements are scheduled to begin in late 2021.  Green stormwater infrastructure that mimics natural systems will be used to enhance the local landscape while improving water quality and managing stormwater.  Bellevue Park residents are invited to ask questions and provide comments on the proposed plan.  The CRW presentation is provided as an attachment.
