A thid public meeting is planned from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday and a website has been established for residents to suggest projects or ideas.
Handouts from the first meeting outlined four separate flooding problems the city’s juggling —– stormwater flooding from bad drainage; coastal flooding from hurricanes and offshore storms; high-tide flooding that soaks low-lying areas; andwhen waterways overruns their banks — and pointed out that many parts of town face “compound flooding” involving multiple water sources at once.
But instead of labeling a single top problem and saying how the city is fixing it, the meetings are designed to get feedback about the things people care about and want the city to pay attention to. “Everywhere, they’re cutting trees down,” said Sandra English, who lives in Northwest Jacksonville and noted that the loss affects both neighborhoods and wildlife that are displaced when the woods vanish.
