Manitou Road Local Drainage Improvement Project

As part of The City’s Local Drainage Improvements (LDI) Program, we will be working in your area to improve the stormwater system to alleviate excessive pooling and flooding that can happen.

Project Details

At Manitou Rd SE, during storms, flooding and pooling are common. This project work will upgrade the existing storm infrastructure with the installation of manholes, backflow prevention valves and raising driveways to reduce pooling and flooding issues.

The City needs to raise the driveway entrances of the following locations on Manitou Rd SE:

• 315 Manitou Rd SE.

• 415 Manitou Rd SE.

• 419-439 Manitou Rd SE.
