Briefing
Upper Turkey Creek flood control presentation
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers presented a proposed flood mitigation plan for Upper Turkey Creek, showing primarily levees, floodwalls near bridges, two bridge replacements, and a detention basin by Merriam Marketplace. The presentation included renderings, maps, and a project schedule with completion currently estimated January 2037; an open house with USACE staff followed the meeting. Public commenters raised concerns about preserving downtown character, visibility from I-35, graffiti on floodwalls, and the railroad bridge as a possible 'pinch point'. The council unanimously approved consent agenda minutes and adjourned at 8:14 pm.
