We completed a study in May 2026 and found two (2) design solutions that would reduce yard and road flooding. Staff used feedback from residents to select a preferred design.

• Alternative #1: Install stormwater pipes that send runoff to the mouth of an existing stream near the intersection of Braceridge Road and Batiste Road.
• Alternative #2: Install stormwater pipes that send runoff south down Braceridge Road and tie into an existing stormwater system that discharges into the same stream further south.

Study Results

• Overflow from a nearby bioretention cell was the source of the yard and road flooding.
• Resident feedback found that a modified Alternative #2 design was preferred.

In Fall 2026, we began designing the selected alternative. This design alternative involves installing a new stormwater pipe system that will collect overflow and run from the bioretention cell, through residential backyards, and out to Braceridge Road. The system will then run south down Braceridge Road and tie into the existing drainage network. The pipes within the existing drainage network will be increased in size to account for the additional runoff being collected.

View Alternative 2 Design. Final design will be modified to incorporate resident feedback and better reflect the community’s needs.

Project Goals

• Eliminate or reduce road and yard flooding in the area for the 10-year storm event.
• Do not increase flood elevations of nearby stream.
