Why This Project Matters
The Cambridge Village Park / Ramblewood Project helps reduce flood risk in two neighborhoods by using park space for smart stormwater management. Here’s why it’s important:
1. Reduces Flooding in Two Communities
By creating 24 acre-feet of stormwater detention in Cambridge Village Park, the project helps capture and slow down heavy rainfall, reducing flood risk for both Cambridge Village Park and nearby Ramblewood.
2. Supports the Stormwater Action Team’s Efforts
The detention basin will directly support a drainage improvement project in the Ramblewood neighborhood, helping manage excess stormwater more effectively across the area.
3. Makes Strategic Use of Public Space
Using parkland for flood detention provides critical infrastructure without taking land away from homes or roadways—preserving community space while improving safety.
4. Enhances Neighborhood Resilience
With improved flood protection, residents face less risk of water damage, property loss, or displacement during major storms.
5. Protects Quality of Life
Reducing flooding means fewer disruptions to daily life, safer streets, and stronger community confidence in long-term stormwater solutions.
