Lakes Neighborhood Exfiltration – Phase 1 (11063)

Lakes Neighborhood residential area experience inundation in substantial rain events. To address this challenge, the Lakes Exfiltration – Phase 1 project is needed to install a drainage exfiltration system west of 16th Court, which lies upstream of the neighborhood. The project is intended to improve flooding levels and water quality compared to the existing condition of no system in the area. Per the City’s Stormwater Master Plan criteria, the project is intended to consist of initial lengths of exfiltration systems, with the intent to capture stormwater “uphill” and eventually be expanded and connected to the remaining CIP work in this area to meet the City’s chosen basin wide LOS in the future. The project design drainage improvements would provide an initial needed component of the full future stormwater improvements to the larger basin area.

Hollywood Lakes, one of Hollywood’s oldest neighborhoods, located east of U.S. 1 to N 17 Avenue, between Roosevelt Street and Johnson Street . This historic neighborhood is currently experiencing a rebirth. Its appeal extends beyond the charming historic houses to include a pedestrian-friendly environment. However, there is a critical issue. The neighborhood faces flooding risks due to stormwater runoff from areas east of US-1—the “uphill” section of the community.
