Street flooding and stormwater capacity in Croissant Park
Summary
Longtime residents say Southwest 14th Court and nearby streets now flood repeatedly, sometimes for 18+ hours, and a nearby eight-unit project built up with fill made it worse. The board approved the six-unit project because it meets code, but urged residents to take area-wide drainage and pumping needs to the City Commission and utilities department.
