Phase 1 of the East Scenic Drive Stabilization project in The Dalles has been completed.  It corrects a shallow embankment failure that was occurring in the area by constructing 550 lineal feet of retaining wall and installing a storm water drainage system along Scenic Drive.  The paving that was done in the project area is a thin temporary layer that will be replaced when Phase 2 takes place in three to five years.  It will provide for the construction of another 525 feet of retaining wall along with some associated underground utility system repairs.  At that time new curbs and sidewalks will be constructed throughout the entire project area and the street will be repaved to match the new curb elevations.  City officials note this embankment failure is not a reactivation of the historic Kelly Avenue landslide.
