Latest action: Published
Less flooding on Cedar Ave during heavy rain The city will spend $240,000 to design a system that catches and filters stormwater before it floods streets or pollutes Minnehaha Creek.
Cleaner creek water benefits fish and swimmers Filtering stormwater keeps oil, dirt, and chemicals out of Minnehaha Creek, which improves water quality for recreation and wildlife.
Design only—actual construction takes years This $240,000 pays only for planning; building the system will require separate funding and happen later, so relief from flooding won't arrive soon.
Authorizing staff to enter into an agreement with the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) and the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board (MPRB), in the amount of $240,000, to cooperatively undertake the engineering design of a stormwater BMPat Cedar Ave S and East Minnehaha Pkwy.
