• South Tampa's streets keep flooding. Will this $100M city project help? (tampabay.com) — If you live in South Tampa's flood‑prone neighborhoods, City Council is about to decide whether a $100 million South Howard Flood Relief Project moves forward, potentially reshaping streets, traffic and stormwater protection near Parkland Estates and Palma Ceia Pines. Supporters say the big box‑culvert system is essential to stop routine street flooding, while nearby business owners fear years of disruption and question the soaring costs and funding plan. 
• Medical Professionals Impacted by Flooding Advocate for the South Howard Project (tampa.gov) — For South Tampa residents who rely on HCA Florida South Tampa Hospital, doctors and staff say chronic flooding is now a serious safety issue, sometimes making the hospital and nearby offices unreachable during heavy rains. They're backing the South Howard Flood Relief Project, a large box‑culvert system designed to move stormwater out of Parkland Estates and Palma Ceia Pines and keep key neighborhood roads passable during intense storms.
