August 10, 2023 produced an average of 60 mm of rain throughout the city over a period of 5 hours, with a peak recorded volume of 107 mm. At peak, 190mm/hour was falling. Due to the nature of the storm (high peak intensity and high volume), sanitary sewers, storm sewers and overland drainage systems were all affected.
In College Ward, several homes were flooded. This report looks at the reasons why and how flooding can be prevented in future.
Staff say that they are currently initiating a drainage study in the City View/Crestview area to control flow into the storm sewer system thereby minimizing the risk of sewer surcharge. This study should be completed by early summer. They are also undertaking computer simulations of the of the August 10th, 2023 event in the Meadowlands Area using sewer hydraulic models to determine if additional tweaks to the infrastructure can be done to further reduce the risk of flooding.
The Cobden Road Accelerated Neighbourhood Traffic Calming study was initiated in response to speeding concerns raised by the ward Councillor. Upon review, a conceptual plan was prepared which proposed the installation of 3 speed humps on Cobden Road between Baseline Road and Iris Street. An online public consultation was undertaken in the fall of 2024 to share the proposed conceptual plan and seek feedback from residents. The survey was available from October 11th to November 7th, 2024. A total of 143 respondents completed the survey. This report contains the results of the online survey.
Since elected, I have heard from City View residents and the local community association about limited access to City parks close to home.
