Staff is now <br />working on developing a 2019 drainage improvement project to alleviate some of these <br />flooding concerns. Staff has already identified several projects for 2019. Some of the <br />projects include: <br />Pavement Management Storm Water Upgrades: As part of the pavement <br />management project staff is looking at replacing or adding infrastructure to areas <br />that have had flooding issues. <br />o Staff will be working with the Capitol Region Watershed to install Rain <br />Gardens near the McCarrons Lake area as part of a targeted watershed grant. <br />o Staff will make some storm sewer upgrades on Western Avenue to alleviate <br />some backyard drainage for resident east of Western Avenue between Transit <br />Avenue and Brooks Avenue. <br />Storm Sewer Lining: A large storm sewer pipe underneath the railroad tracks on <br />County Road C will be lined ahead of the County Road C reconstruction project. <br />This segment is proposed to be lined to limit the impacts to rail traffic and <br />vehicular traffic. <br />Staff will be designing a one ac -ft underground reuse project that will incorporate <br />water quality, rate control, and volume reduction components. The City will be <br />installing this project at Evergreen Park which is located on Fairview Avenue and <br />County Road B, which is on the Fairview Trunk Storm Sewer System. The reuse <br />portion of the project will irrigate the four ballfields, which will lessen the need of <br />using potable water. This project will help reduce local flooding issues in an area <br />where the City needs to remove 12 ac -ft of volume (approx. 4 million gallons). <br />The City received three grants for the $700,000 project: Metropolitan Council - <br />$300,000; Rice Creek Watershed District - $45,000; Ramsey County Soil & <br />Water - $57,000. <br />Staff will work on maintaining Ditch 2 from the St Croix Lift Station to County <br />
