<br />Action Item #3: Burlington should consider improving the drainage around the KC Fairgrounds, and adopt stormwater/drainage <br />regulations to prevent new development from worsening the existing problems. <br /> <br />Issue Statement: Currently, 2" ofrain at the fairgrounds can flood buildings, create the ponding of water, aggravate traffic, and <br />threaten area homes with flooding. The present solution is to pump the water over the railroad tracks versus its natural drainage <br />pattern. This aggravates drainage downstream as the water proceeds south towards the Old Town facilities, where new in-street <br />drainage facilities transport the water out of town. New development is at increased risk east of 15th and North of Railroad Avenue. <br />Runoff in the "Gross Addition" now ponds at the SE corner of the subdivision. There has been discussion of a drainage proj ect on <br />the west side of 15th near the fairgrounds. <br /> <br /> <br />~gN <br /> <br />In-street drainage on south side of Burlington <br /> <br />87 <br />
