Residents provide information about stormwater problems at meeting

Residents viewed maps at a neighborhood stormwater meeting on Wednesday evening at the West Wyandotte Library, 1737 N. 82nd St., Kansas City, Kan. The residents filled out forms about stormwater problems in their area, which was between 81st and 85th streets, from Parallel Parkway to Georgia Avenue. John Menkhus, with the Unified Government’s engineering department, said there were some potential storm sewer issues in the area, and a study will look at the issues and estimate costs. Doug Carpenter with GBA Architects and Engineers said a preliminary engineering study is planned. Menkhus said a couple of these projects are being done each year. Another neighborhood meeting took place around 29th and Ohio. At the end of March, a study is expected to start in the Stony Point neighborhood. The meeting was coordinated by the Unified Government Public Works Department. (Staff photo)
