In a recent government meeting, officials discussed several infrastructure projects aimed at improving local stormwater management and enhancing road conditions. Key among these was the proposed reconstruction of Divas Drive, which has been plagued by poor drainage and uneven surfaces for years. The project aims to install curb and gutter systems, along with storm drains, to alleviate residential lot ponding and improve overall accessibility. The reconstruction will involve lowering the road's profile to ensure proper drainage, addressing long-standing concerns from residents about the street's condition.

Officials noted that this project is not only about drainage but also about enhancing the roadway itself, which has been described as a \"roller coaster\" due to its uneven terrain. The Divas Drive project is seen as a priority, especially as it benefits a significant number of structures in the area, with estimates indicating it could positively impact 40 properties.

Additionally, the meeting highlighted the need for an updated parks master plan, which would incorporate community input and identify challenges related to parkland and improvements. This update is crucial for securing future grants and ensuring that parks like TRP, Doak, Burkett, and Dolan are included in the planning process.

On the facilities front, renovations for two fire stations were discussed, with plans nearing completion and expected to be shovel-ready soon. These renovations are essential for accommodating new equipment and improving safety features, aligning with ongoing downtown development projects.

Overall, the meeting underscored a commitment to enhancing infrastructure and community facilities, with a focus on addressing long-standing issues and preparing for future growth.
