This project is bordered by Highway I-85 to the north, Cinderella Road to the south, Echo Glen Road to the east, and West Sugar Creek 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, scoring 73 of 100.  The ranking protocol identifies 18 structures that experience flooding in the 100-year storm event and 7 roads that experience transverse overtopping events that do not meet current standards.  The entire neighborhood has received a patchwork of repairs over the years and a holistic project is needed to cost beneficially address the drainage system issues.
