Project Description:
The project is a multi-phase, multi-year regional stormwater improvement project intended to address extensive flooding problems
and improve water quality within a drainage basin area of approximately 3,400 acres. The project is located in the northern portion
of the South Tampa Peninsula, and includes the neighborhoods of Vasconia, Palma Ceia, Beach Park, and Hyde Park. The project
consists of phased construction of stormwater improvements within the entire project area, based on an updated stormwater model
and drainage study. A total of thirty six (36) areas prone to flooding have been identified by the City’s consultant, with rough cost
estimates provided for each potential project. In addition to the Upper Peninsula study and model, a previous design for Vasconia
will be integrated into the long range stormwater capital improvement plan. Flooding relief along South Dale Mabry Highway at
Henderson, Watrous, and Neptune Street is a priority among stormwater capital improvement projects identified in the flooding
study. Although the project is primarily intended to address flooding, it is anticipated that water quality treatment for a portion of the
project will also be provided. City of Tampa Public Works, Stormwater Division is requesting cooperative funding for FY 2014 to
support continued design consulting fees, permitting fees, and land acquisition.
