2018 PROJECTS <br />COMPLETION OF MARION STREET AND <br />CLEVELAND AVENUE PARKS <br />This year, Roseville completed two new parks on Cleveland <br />Avenue and Marion Street. These parks provide recreation <br />areas for community members of all ages and expand the <br />playgrounds, open green space, and wooded walking paths <br />that the City offers to residents. Planting native flowers and <br />shrubs in these new parks also furthers the goals of <br />ecological restoration detailed on page 3. The parks are <br />shown below with Marion Street on top and Cleveland <br />Avenue below it. <br />STORMWATER AND WATER QUALITY <br />In recent years, Roseville has been a leader in clean water <br />projects and stormwater management, completing a variety <br />of water stewardship projects and activities. In January 2018, <br />the City received the Watershed Partner Award from the <br />Capitol Region Watershed District for exemplifying the <br />principles of watershed stewardship and a commitment to <br />improving and protecting water resources in the district. <br />MAY 28, 2019 <br />The City has provided significant technical and <br />financial support for many projects, such as the Villa <br />Park Wetland Weir System, Lake McCarrons Alum <br />Treatment, Gottfried's Pit Lift Station, Iron <br />Enhancement Filtration Benches at Williams Street <br />Pond, and the Upper Villa Park Stormwater <br />Infiltration & Reuse project. Roseville residents highly <br />value natural resources in their community, and it is <br />a priority for the City to continue implementing <br />projects that preserve and protect our environment. <br />Read on to the 2019 Projects in this issue for more <br />information on upcoming efforts. <br />CEDARHOLM STORMWATER <br />This past summer, Roseville completed a project <br />at the Cedarholm Community Building to im- <br />prove their clubhouse, pond, and parking lot <br />stormwater management system. This project <br />was dual purposed. It updated a beautiful fea- <br />ture of the community for residents, and also <br />enabled the City to increase flood protection by <br />the use of porous pavement. Porous pavement <br />increases the amount of water that can be reab- <br />sorbed into the ground instead of runoff into lo- <br />cal water sources, which has a large hand in <br />preserving the native ecosystem and preventing <br />potential flood hazards. <br />
