As the main line is installed, connections will be made from the rainwater downspouts for each of the brownstones (#178, #180, #182, and #184) to the storm drainage system. Temporarily, the exterior egress path from the rear of the brownstones will be impacted during the day while this activity takes place. The egress path will be restored to a safe and passable condition at the end of each day.
