SUMMARY:
A key project proposed for the West Moreno District in the Westside Redevelopment Area is the proposed reconstruction of the stormwater pond at Lee and F Streets as a dual-purpose stormwater and recreation facility. This facility is scheduled to be expanded by Public Works and Engineering to increase its stormwater retention capacity due to repetitive flooding in the area and in the wake of the severe April 2014 flood event.
CRA is partnering with Public Works and Engineering to enhance this project as a recreational asset. The West Moreno District has precious little outdoor open space, green or park space.
To facilitate the project, Baptist Hospital has agreed to donate a parcel of property immediately adjacent to the existing pond. The parcel is currently used for parking.
