The City completed improvements for Phase 7 of an overall eight (8) phase plan to provide drainage improvements for the City’s Original Section after street flooding during Tropical Storm Isaac from August 2628, 2012. The proposed project will create an engineered drainage system to collect, store, and convey stormwater runoff from the lots along Fleming, Jennings, Perry and Martin Avenues and Swain Boulevard between Biscayne Drive and 10th Avenue North. The stormwater will be discharged into the First Street drainage system (installed with CDBG 2014-2015 funds) and the L-11 Canal (existing, maintained by the Lake Worth Drainage District and upgraded with CDBG 2018-2019 and 20192020 funds). The phased drainage improvements will significantly resolve the identified problem and improve living conditions in this part of the City’s Original Section. The Phase 7 project was funded in part with a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds.
