Converse Avenue/Ponderosa Park Area
Drainage Study
Currently, the area surrounding Converse Avenue and Sedgwick
Road including Ponderosa Park, Sherlyn, and Estonia streets have
experienced various degrees of flooding. After the severe flooding
in 1999, a study to determine the cause was initiated by Surface and Stormwater Management Program.
The consulting firm of Brown & Caldwell was hired in August 2001 to
conduct a study of the area. During the study period Surface and Stormwater Management Program sent out a
questionnaire and held two public meeting to obtain citizen input
and feedback. Brown & Caldwell completed the final report in May of
2003.
The recommended course of action as the most effective for the range
of problems identified was approved by the Board of County
Commissioners in July 2003. The project has been added to the
Surface and Stormwater Management Program Capital Facilities Plan
and is scheduled for property acquisition in 2008 and construction
in 2010.
