Impact analysis
Downstream drainage improvements would require coordination and potentially significant cost between the developer, Public Works, and MSD.
Downstream property owners, including businesses on Watterson Trail, would benefit from reduced runoff and swale improvements.
Nearby property owners, such as the salon across Watterson Trail, fear runoff, sewer backups, and construction-period service interruptions.
