Champaign council OKs initial phase of Garden Hills drainage improvements

Proud of the Champaign council on this one. At least the councilpersons listed below:

Chad Smith, who also lives in Garden Hills, shared Revilla’s desire to move the project forward.


“The neighborhood cannot withstand 10 to 15 more years of continual flooding,” Smith said. “And unfortunately, it’s going to take a tragedy in order for you to make this a priority. With all the other projects that get so much attention, I don’t see how there’s not something we can do to move this up.”


Council members Angie Brix, Matt Gladney, Will Kyles, Greg Stock and Clarissa Fourman said they would all like for city staff to focus on finding funding in order to potentially move the project’s time frame forward.
