Committee outlines citywide stormwater study to prioritize worst flooding spots
Summary
Staff described a multi-month stormwater study (GIS and camera work) to prioritize the city's worst drainage problems and produce a multi-year mitigation plan; committee members discussed funding and scope coverage across neighborhoods.
Planning and engineering staff described a forthcoming citywide stormwater study that will include GIS mapping, camera work, and prioritized recommendations for the worst spots. Staff said the scope will take several months and will produce prioritized mitigation recommendations to inform capital planning and grant applications.
Committee members asked whether the study covers the whole city and noted some neighborhood pockets were already included; staff said the study will prioritize the worst spots and provide a plan for sequencing work over many years. "So what we've asked them to do is take a look at the entire city and prioritize the worst spots," a staff member (S3) said.
