Cayuga Avenue Meetings
The City provided a summary of the prior Cayuga residents meetings and indicated they would be holding another meeting that evening. The City is continuing to compile a list of the residents’ concerns.
October 15 Citywide Stormwater Meeting
City confirmed they will hold a public meeting on October 15 with a brief presentation at both 7:00 and 8:00 p.m. followed by breakout sessions by sites/neighborhoods.
Other Discussion
City indicated they are committed to the future projects identified for each flood area, the items further down the list. The Park District asked for this reassurance to be certain the detention ponds were not viewed as the “whole fix” but only part of the total stormwater solution needed in each area. Examples included the use of Madison School property for detention, upgraded sewer pumps on McKinley as things which needed to be done in addition to the possible use of parks.
Some additional discussion took place on the long-term potential use of the Quarry and expansion of detention west of Salt Creek.
