This project includes designing and constructing a storm drainage system through the Saddle Hills neighborhood from 81st Street to 82nd Terrace, between Grant and Grandview Avenue.

The current storm drainage system is a combination of open ditch and enclosed pipes located between homes.

This project, which was approved by the City Council in October 2007, will replace the existing storm drainage system with all new pipes and eliminate the ditches.

It is recommended to help minimize flooding of homes, yards and streets in the neighborhood.

SK Design Group, the consulting engineering firm, is designing the project now. Construction should start this fall and be completed by the spring of 2009.

The project is being funded through the Johnson County Stormwater Management Advisory Council program.
