Will stormwater projects eliminate flooding in Frog Hollow, Ravenswood and all other neighborhoods?
A. No. Stormwater funding will help improve drainage and flood control in many areas, but it is not possible to eliminate all neighborhood flooding. A project to improve drainage in Frog Hollow currently is being designed. When improvements are complete, 80 percent of the water during most floods will be diverted away from the Frog Hollow neighborhood. The city also will continue to invest in maintenance improvements in the Ravenswood neighborhood. However, the Frog Hollow and Ravenswood neighborhoods both are located in the flood plain of the White River, which makes future flooding an inevitable way of life for those residents.
