As one project ends, another begins – with the completion of the Buffalo Speedway Project in sight, the City continues to make drainage improvements a priority. In 2021, the city completed a City Wide Drainage modeling study and a preliminary report. Both studies recommended improvements to the drainage system east of Buffalo Speedway. In July, City Council and staff identified this project as part of the Foundation for the Future campaign. Construction for this project is slated to begin in January 2023.
The City hosted a Town Hall Meeting on Monday, August 29 at the Community Building, 6104 Auden St, from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m.
The presentations slides can be found HERE.
The video of the presentation can be watched HERE.

Update 2/11/2022: The design contract for the Eastside Paving and Drainage Improvement Project was awarded by Council to HDR Engineering Inc. on December 12, 2021. Following contract execution, an official “kick-off” meeting was held with project staff and HDR to discuss the next steps to move forward with the construction design for this project. This phase of the project will include completion of an environmental study, review of elements of potential traffic calming, construction design and estimated construction costs towards completing the 30% design plans for the project. There will be several public workshops scheduled with City Council, as well as public town hall meetings during identified intervals during the design phase.
