Title
Informational Presentation from City Engineering Regarding Potential Impacts of a Nine Springs Watershed Study Conceptual Solutions on Park Owned Land
Body
Watershed Studies have been completed, are in progress or will be completed by City Engineering for the City’s 22 watersheds over the next 5 years. The Nine Springs Watershed Study is in progress and is discussed in this presentation.
City Engineering has identified conceptual potential flood reduction improvements in the Nine Springs Watershed that if implemented, would have temporary impacts on Parks’ land. These two potential projects include storm sewer improvements along existing alignments in Knollwood Park and Baxter Park. This presentation is designed to inform the Board of Park Commissioners of the proposed improvements and get initial feedback on the acceptability of concepts. City Engineering plans to bring the final watershed study report showing changes to the proposed concepts that impact Parks property after the final phase of public input on the study. 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.
