Title

Informational Presentation from City Engineering Regarding Potential Impact of a Door Creek Watershed Study Conceptual Solution 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 5-10 years. The Door Creek Watershed Study is in progress and is discussed in this presentation.

 

City Engineering has identified a potential flood reduction improvement in the Door Creek watershed that enlarges the existing stormwater ponds in the North Star Park. The improvements stay outside of active mowed park space (within the managed meadow). This presentation is designed to inform the Board of Park Commissioners of the proposed improvements and get feedback on the acceptability of concept. 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.
