Your feedback influenced the design. And we're still listening.

We are grateful to many individuals that followed, posted, emailed, called, attended and otherwise reached out during this project. Here is a summary of what we heard, and how it affected the design:

  • Concerns for individual residential structures
  • Concerns for balancing and sharing of benefits throughout neighborhood
  • Concerns for future flood risk with climate change
  • Concerns about property acquisition or use of public property for flood storage
  • Concerns about public spaces and natural resources
  • Concerns about floodwall scenarios
  • Concerns about some options not serving part of the neighborhood


Here is how public input affected our design

Include as design goals;

  • No increase in risk to any individual property
  • Balance the risk and benefit of the project
  • No private property will be proposed for acquisition
  • Avoid floodwalls


Include as design consideration;

  • Future climate change
  • Limit impact at Weber Park


Take advantage of opportunity;

  • Enhance natural areas where impacts occur
  • Consider park improvements where impacts occur
  • Remove or reduce potential for flood overflow into private property through minor changes in grade
  • Add inlets in low areas to fully utilize pipe


Detailed conversations also led the design team to;

  • Consider backflow and overflow on Grimes Avenue
  • Improve system map and model accuracy in 41st street right-of-way
  • Consider overflow on Crocker Avenue
