Survey Open: City Engineering Works to Prioritize Flood Projects
posted
City Engineering invites the public to take a survey to help engineers prioritize flood projects.
Purpose behind the survey
The public asks the Engineering Division often when will certain flood projects happen in the City. The answer: it depends on a number of factors including:
- Flooding improvement projects are very expensive.
- For perspective, some projects could use all parts of Engineering’s budget on any given year because some cost millions of dollars.
- Flooding improvement project selection needs to be equitable. Projects should not be prioritized just because one area is more engaged in public process or has wealthier residents.
- There are so many projects and areas in need in the City.
- Flooding improvement projects take a long time and are technically very complicated because they impact more areas than the specific flood project site.
Take the survey
The survey asks for feedback surrounding the following topics:
- Project prioritization
- Project location
- Engagement so far

The survey will remain open until Nov. 1, 2021.
