Project overview

We plan to construct flood mitigation measures. The project will replace aging storm water pipes in the Cleveland Neighborhood. Streets in this neighborhood flood as often as every other year. Some homes have flooded in the past and residents have reported damage. Installing new storm water pipes will reduce flood risk and improve climate resilience. Public Works will consult residents on improvements for walking, rolling, and driving. Construction is planned to begin in late 2025 and conclude in late 2026.

There are three main project goals:

1.      Reduce flooding of streets and houses for frequent and severe rainfall events.

2.      Recommend a design layout that improves climate resilience of the area. The design will manage storm water runoff amounts and increasing rainfall intensity.

3.      Consult residents on priorities for using streets, sidewalks, and green space. These uses will be balanced with water quality needs.
