Public Works Director Jennifer Fidler says the drainage projects approved for the Volanta drainage basin have been completed -- using up all the grant (Mobile National Estuary Program) and other budgeted funds. This includes new drainage basins in Volanta and Jasmine Parks and some smaller projects in city street right of ways.

Fidler said the city had contacted ALDOT about improvements to their right of ways along Greeno Rd. -- and the owners of the Arbor Gates apartments about needed drainage improvements there; but since this is private property, there was no way for the city to compel them to make the improvements. She said she didn't know if ALDOT had included the money in their 2013 budget.
