The Bel-Air Association spent much effort last week to urge Metro to postpone their geotechnical boring work as the community recovers from flooding and mudslides. The Bel-Air Association successfully secured a postponement of Metro’s boring work for a week so that the ground can dry out and the community recover from damage caused by the recent torrential rains. Some of the incidents included:

• Clogged storm drains on Stradella caused a lake and flooding. Water eroded hillside and washed onto Somma.

• Hillside mudslide under John Thomas Dye School.

• Erosion under 901 Strada Vecchia causing muddy mess below on Rocca Place.

• Bel-Air community suffered four power outages during the rains.

• Many small slides and fallen trees into the roadways.
