Chronic flooding in Shenandoah/Liberty Street neighborhood
Summary
Residents testified that their homes and garages flood repeatedly, with more than a foot of water during the June 2024 rains and April 2023 storm. The city's new stormwater master plan won't fix the 'bowl' area for roughly five years. This flooding fear drove opposition to the denied 22-unit project.
