A1A flooding, drainage maintenance and resiliency partnership with FDOT
Summary
Sunny-day and king-tide flooding on A1A dominated the meeting. FDOT's drainage engineer explained twice-a-year backflow preventer inspections, but board members said the pipe system itself is only inspected reactively — and they want a scheduled, proactive inspection protocol. Two additional pump stations (Jefferson and Foxclove, ~$22.5M) still need funding partners.
