Biggest bang for the buck.”“We would like to see more focus on public safety.Not just property but loss of life and potential threats to people.”

Overarching Prioritization Criteria• Partnership/leveraging opportunities• Coordination with City bond program• Racial/cultural equity• Economic development• Open space• Contribution to other City plans/initiatives17
Hazardous Roadway Overtopping Priorities • Identified the most hazardous locations based on:• Depth of flow over road • Frequency of overtopping• History of fatalities & high water rescues• Citizen complaints• Risk of fatality• Other considerations• Ease of project implementation• Flow velocity • Traffic volume & detour length• ~100 locations considered critical18Top 50 HRO LocationsSuper Majority Minority Areas
HROM Project TypesMajor Mitigation• Raise road profile • Bridge• Upsized culverts• Significantly reduce frequency and magnitude of overtopping• Projects > $4 million candidates for safety upgrades• Major mitigation not affordable at this scale of capital programSafety Upgrades• Road still subject to flooding• Guardrails or other physical barrier• Signage• Warning beacons• Lighting19Oak Grove Safety Improvements
