Project Status and Funding Source

The project was completed in December 2025. 

This project was co-funded by Public Works and Public Utilities with CIPs 100486, 100561, and 100563."

Project Scope 

This project constructed a new parallel storm drain system with additional larger curb inlets, along South Plaza Trail between South Rosemont Road and Presidential Boulevard, and along Presidential Boulevard to the Windsor Woods Canal (Thalia Creek). The parallel drainage system diverts runoff from Rosemont Road to the outfall at Windsor Woods Canal. 

This diverted runoff reduces flooding at the low area of South Rosemont Road. The new larger drainage system reduces flooding on South Plaza Trail and Presidential Boulevard within the area of construction. The project also provides water and sewer betterments, repaved existing streets impacted by construction, and replaced several damaged or impacted entrances and sidewalks.
