MEMO DATE: November 8, 2002 TO: FROM: RE: Honorable Mayor and Council Members Mary Capra Quebec Street Drainage ............................................................................ I have asked this matter be added to the agenda one more time for consideration. I have spoken with Mr. Palzer regarding the drainage of this street and the hazard the lack of proper drainage cause in the winter with ice build up. The council requested information on other streets within the city that has similar problems with drainage. Mr. Palzer informed me the only other major problem street would be Center Street where no storm water drainage exists. I have spoken to two of the residents affected by the poor drainage design of this property and they have stated they have no place to pump their sump water to that does not end up either affecting their neighbors or the street. They want and need the assistance of the city in dealing with this problem. The city has assisted residents in the past to rectifY poorly designed drainage problems within the city. . The homes between Shad Avenue and Brian Drive had significant water problems. The city lowered the drainage ways, which in turn lowered the water level of the pond on Brian Way allowing for better drainage of these properties. The moneys used for the project came from the Storm Water Fund. . The city cleaned out the drainage ditch behind Fox Run in order to assist with the drainage on Prairie Drive. . The city also lowered the ditch south of Hayfield to improve drainage on Hayfield. . Similar project have been done to assist the ice build up on the roadways with the city. These projects where funded through the Storm Water Fund. I would like to discuss with council the potential of assisting these residents living on the south side of Quebec Street with their drainage problem, which greatly affects the ice buildup on our city street.
