• invest in extensive tree planting
• construct and maintain large rain gardens on public property and encourage residential rain gardens
• and install permeable pavement on neighborhood roads.

 These efforts will be concentrated in areas hardest hit by the historic June 2021 floods, but will benefit the entire community. They will be a complement to improvements to the city’s stormwater system that will also be pursued, and are part of a multi-year, multi-pronged approach to reduce flooding hazards.
