Informational Meeting: Buena Vista and Railroad Avenues Flooding Fix

Another public meeting held next door the same evening: Pocket Park Feedback Meeting

The City of Santee is holding a public meeting Thursday to inform residents about plans to upgrade infrastructure around Buena Vista and Railroad Avenues to prevent chronic flooding that has plagued the area.

The meeting will be held May 2 from 5-8 p.m. in Building 8P at the Santee City Hall (10601 Magnolia Avenue).

The area due to be upgraded is an older part of town that also includes Summercrest Lane, Summertree Lane, Lind Vern Court, and  Buena Valley Drive.

Specifics of the plan were detailed in the Santee Review city blog:

"The city is planning to spend more than $3 million to eliminate chronic street flooding, improve traffic flow and enhance public safety. This will be accomplished by installing new storm drain pipes, resurfacing pavement, and, in some sections of the project, widening the street.  New curbs, gutters and sidewalks are also planned for parts of the neighborhood."

According to the city, a construction bid should be in by late 2013 or early 2014.
