Albany officials debate repurposing 3 Oaks Pond; board asks staff to prioritize stormwater projects
Summary
Staff proposed grading and piping 3 Oaks Pond to convert a detention pond into a community park after drainage was diverted; several board members opposed using stormwater funds for a recreation amenity and asked for a prioritized project list before advancing the item.
City staff on Oct. 9 presented a plan to grade and pipe 3 Oaks Pond (located at Pheasant and Meadowlark) so the roughly 1.5-acre detention pond could be repurposed as a passive community park. Staff said runoff that previously overloaded the pond was diverted to Lake Cornelia, and Lanier Engineering prepared a design that would extend pipe and backfill ditches to create a more usable community area.
