The project involved constructing a new culvert for North Creek to alleviate flooding and safeguard 56 residential structures in the vicinity of Flanagin Park.

The installation is one of the MWRD’s largest Green Infrastructure Partnership Program projects, converting six asphalt lots into permeable pavement, covering 71,000 square feet, designed to capture up to 539,000 gallons of water each time it rains.

The Village of North Riverside will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony with project partners from the MWRD to announce the completion of six unique and resilient parking lots designed to mitigate flooding.

The new dashboard enhances user experience with updated data and visuals to track MWRD progress across the Strategic Plan’s five goals.
