Harvey residents in the area of 153rd Street and Myrtle Avenue will be bought out of their homes to make way for the Central Park Stormwater Detention Basin Project, a $9.8 milllion plan to ease flooding and protect 209 buildings.
Dorothy Taylor stands Wednesday outside her home on Myrtle Avenue in Harvey, which is in the path of a flood control project scheduled to begin next summer.
The basin will be carved out of the neighborhood where residents such as Poole, 88, and his daughters — Lanora Poole, who lives with him with her children, and Carlita Poole-Tingle, who lives next door to her father and sister with her two children — are being told they need to move out before next summer.
She and other residents said they didn’t know about the flood control project or impact on their homes until a public meeting the MWRD held July in Harvey. The MWRD said the project had been in the planning stages since 2018 and after a final design contract was approved in November 2021, a kickoff meeting was held with the city.
“All the seniors on this block worked hard for what they have here,” Taylor said. “I’m not ready to go anyplace.” The exact location of the basin was determined in consultation with Harvey “over the past few years and was driven by their desire to develop a Central Park” near the former St. Susanna property, O’Connor wrote.
