The project is in accordance with the City's Capital Improvement Program approved by the City Commission. Design plans will address connecting the drainage pipe currently extended just west of Biscayne Boulevard at NE 231th Street to the existing drainage pipe extended to NE 28th Avenue completing connection to the Hospital District. In addition, plans will address drainage improvements to the existing outfall at the intersection of NE 28th Avenue complteting connection to the Hospital District.Plans will address drainage improvements of the existing outfall at the intersection of NE 213th street and NE 34th Avenue as required by Miami-Dade County department of Environmental Resources (DERM). DERM will not allow connection to the Hospital District until the outfall connection is complete.Completion of thes project will improve the overall storm water management system in the City and will help minimize flooding during peak rainfall events. The roadway improvements will improve traffic circulation, which will aid in the evacuation efforts, should that become necessary during an emergency, as well as ingree and egress into the City's Hospital and Medical Center.
 
Is this a project related to a federal or state declared disaster? No
 
Measurable Outcome Anticipated:
The proposed project will help to protect the environnment in the following ways: 1) provide an effective drainage system that will be designed to collect and pretreat stormwater runoff prior to discharge; 2) reduce flooding and standing water throughout the study area; 3) reduce the impacts of a high water table and localized flooding on private septic tanks; 4) provide a primary drainage outfall which will provide increased flood protection and the ability to "bleed down" the secondary drainage systems within the project area. The collective result will be a major benefit to the enviornment.
