Council adopts final downtown and Centennial Creek drainage study reports to guide future projects
Summary
The council adopted two final drainage‑study reports — one for downtown and one for the Centennial Creek area — both produced with grant funding and intended to guide future grant applications and project designs to reduce flooding.
The Conway City Council adopted final reports for a downtown drainage study and a Centennial Creek drainage study, both prepared under grant funding and forwarded to the council for formal acceptance. The reports summarize mapping, cost estimates and recommended project options the transportation department can use to pursue design work or future grants to address recurring flooding and drainage concerns. Kirk (transportation staff) told council members the downtown study produced useful flood‑plain mapping and project concepts that the city can incorporate into upcoming design work and grant applications. He said the Centennial Creek report identifies options and cost estimates for mitigating severe street flooding in that neighborhood. Both studies were funded through grants that required formal adoption of the final reports. Council approved the downtown drainage study resolution (listed in the meeting as Resolution R25‑31) and the Centennial Creek resolution by voice votes recorded as 6‑0. Kirk also provided a separate project update while before the council: the city expects to have several roadway and roundabout repairs substantially complete within a month or two and reported the highway department’s Hogan/Highway 64 and Salem projects remain on schedule with a likely October completion window; a downtown repaving schedule was also noted for September.
