The City of Owen Sound will hold the second public information centre for its Stormwater Management Master Plan on Wednesday, Nov. 25, from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. in council chambers at City Hall, 808 2nd Avenue East.
At the first session, held in December 2024, the project team shared the drainage problems it had found and asked residents about other concerns and possible fixes, the city said. At the Nov. 25 open house, the team will show the improvements it now recommends and ask for feedback before finalizing them.
Residents can review the proposals, ask questions of city staff and representatives of Tatham Engineering, the consultant, and fill out comment sheets. The city says feedback will help shape the final recommendations and will be documented in the final report.
The plan will guide how the city manages runoff from rain and melting snow and help it prioritize drainage improvements to reduce flooding, improve public safety and make the system easier to maintain. It covers city-owned land and public road allowances, including storm sewers, ditches, culverts, watercourses and stormwater ponds.
Presentation materials will be posted before the open house at OurCity.OwenSound.ca/Stormwater-Master-Plan, where materials from the first session are also available.
