Watershed Studies are have been completed, are in progress or will be completed for the City’s 22 watersheds over the next 5-10 years. Three studies is called the Near west and John Nolan drive are discussed in this presentation. The Watershed Studies Report describes the methodology, approach, and preliminary results of the study, including potential improvement solutions.

These are concept levels improvements and future detailed plans would come back to BPC.
