Presentation at Community Meeting on February 6, 2020

On February 6, approximately two dozen residents of the Braehead neighborhood saw this presentation, commissioned by the City and prepared by the Timmons Engineering Group.  It describes the physical character of the Braehead neighborhood, as the lower half of a 115 acre drainage basin.  It identifies the challenges the neighborhood faces concerning stormwater.  Members of City Council, Planning Commission, and city staff were present at the meeting.  Additional community meetings are being planned with the owners of properties that are most affected by drainage patterns, as well as the entire community.  If you have any questions please contact Chuck Johnston, the City’s Community Planning and Building Director at crjohnston@fredericksburgva.va or Tyler Gelles, the City’s Senior Stormwater Manager at trgellease@fredericksburgva.gov.  View presentation here.
