This project is bordered by Rama Road to the north, McAlpine Creek to the south, Monroe Road to the east and Burlwood Road to the west. The drainage system consists of open channel and closed pipe systems underneath City maintained roads. This was previously identified as a major capital project from the watershed ranking prioritization process with a score of 54 of 100. The ranking protocol identifies 30 structures that experience flooding in the 100-year storm event and 16 roads that experience transverse overtopping events that do not meet current standards. A holistic project is needed to cost beneficially address the drainage system issues.
