BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Project Background
The 2012-2017 General Obligation Bond Program authorized $6,499,000 for Indian Creek Channel Phase II and, of that, $2,120,105.91 will be used for construction. The balance of the Project funds will be used for property acquisition, design services, environmental services, advertising and project management, with any remaining funds to be realized as bond savings.
This Project provides for improvements to portions of the Indian Creek Channel, from Five Palms Drive to Medina Base Road. Improvements include the reconstruction of the Elm Valley Drive culvert crossing, drainage improvements south of Medina Base Road and channel improvements which will require an average of four feet of excavation along the earthen channel between Medina Base Road and Lackland Spur. The project also includes widening and concrete erosion protection, in various locations throughout the Project area. These improvements will improve the 100 year floodplain conditions for this area and will result in an estimated 12 homes being removed from the floodplain. Additionally, 27 lots that were partially within the floodplain will be 100% removed upon completion of the project.
