TYLER – \"\"The city of Tyler reports that progress continues on the City of Tyler\u2019s 2025 Structure Flooding Project, with design and pre-construction work underway for drainage improvements on Kidd Drive and Downing Street. On Wednesday, Jan. 28, the City Council awarded a $587,169.20 construction contract to W.M. Miller Construction Company, Inc. for improvements on Downing Street and Kidd Drive. This phase of the project will deliver long-term flood relief for residents and address aging stormwater infrastructure in the area. <\/p>\n

To improve drainage and reduce flood risk: <\/p>\n

Downing Street will receive two new curb inlets, and one existing inlet will be enlarged to increase capacity. <\/p>\n

Kidd Drive will see two aging brick curb inlets removed and replaced with new, higher-capacity models. Two additional inlets will also be installed. All four inlets will connect to a new junction box at the existing stormwater infrastructure along Shiloh Road. <\/p>\n

New yard drains will be added in areas most susceptible to flooding, helping redirect stormwater away from homes and property. <\/p>\n

The Kidd Drive and Downing Street upgrades were added to the 2025 Structure Flooding Project in August 2025. For more information, visit 2025 Structure Flooding Project | My Tyler, Texas. <\/p>\n

These improvements will be funded through the Half Cent Sales Tax Fund. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
