The Quail Place Tributary Drainage Project started earlier this week and contractors have notified residents that construction will begin shortly. This is a project that was approved in the 2018 General Obligation Bond Election and improvements will be made to the drainage system around Woodland Park. Director of Engineering Micah Seimers explains where the crews will begin working.

“They will begin work downstream of Cherokee Hills and then have to close Cherokee Hills completely while they replace the drainage structure under the road. Once they complete that work, the rest of the work will take place in back yards between Cherokee Hills Drive and Evergreen Drive.”

Siemers went on to say that this won't eliminate all drainage issues in the area, but the hope is to eliminate the flooding problems. They hope to complete the project by March, pending weather delays.
