Title
Accepting the Final Report and Recommended Solutions of the Warner Park and Cherokee Marsh Watershed Study
Body
Engineering is bringing the completed Warner Park and Cherokee Marsh Watershed Study before the Board of Park Commissioners, seeking acceptance of the final report.
Since 2018 City Engineering has been completing watershed studies across 22 study areas citywide to identify and understand areas at risk of stormwater flooding and develop recommendations to reduce flooding. Watershed studies propose conceptual level improvements that show the scale and type of project necessary to meet flood mitigation targets. Future detailed plans would come back to BPC when the project is budgeted and has undergone detailed design. The Warner Park and Cherokee Marsh Watershed study covers the northern part of the City generally east of Lake Mendota, west of Sherman Ave, and north of Aberg Ave. The Final Report describes the project methodology, approach, and results of the study, including conceptual project recommendations.
