Assess opportunities for blue-green infrastructure in the public realm to reduce flood risk.
The City will identify areas prone to flood risk (now and from future flood events) such as neighborhoods located on flood plains along the Trinity River and evaluate whether green infrastructure may be a solution in that area to mitigate flood impact. This will include city parks as potential flood retention areas. The ‘Drainage Design Manual (2019)’ and the ‘Complete Streets Design Manual (2013)’ provide design guidelines.
