Notice: Pervious Sidewalk Installation Begins this June

Mount Rainier News Posted on May 30, 2025

The City of Mount Rainier will begin sidewalk construction to install Flexi-Pave, a permeable pavement that reduces stormwater runoff, minimizes flooding, improves drainage, and protects tree roots.

Grace Management and Construction will carry out the work on the following dates and locations, weather permitting:

  • June 16–20, 2025: 37th Street (between Eastern Avenue and Newton St)
  • June 23–27, 2025: 29th Street (between Taylor St and Upshur St)
  • June 30–July 7, 2025: Shepherd Street (between 31st St and 32nd St)

During construction:

  • No parking in the work zone between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM
  • Access to the area will be restricted during construction and for 24 hours after completion
  • Traffic disruptions and detours may occur

This project is funded by a Stormwater Stewardship Grant from the Prince George’s County Department of the Environment, administered by the Chesapeake Bay Trust.
