The project team elaborates on how the development will address existing flooding concerns in the neighborhood. They explain various measures designed to mitigate flooding and improve water management in the area.
- The development will use soft landscapes and materials that allow water to seep into the ground
- Bioswales will help divert water from the street and reduce flooding
- The project aims to not contribute to, and potentially alleviate, existing flooding issues in the neighborhood
