The City’s road raising policy is a critical issue for our stormwater program and is currently being reviewed by Jacobs Engineering.  We should always seek to improve our program by learning from our projects and Palm Hibiscus is our most recent experience.  Therefore, we should review:

• The impact of road raising on project duration (i.e., what was incremental project duration?)
  
  
• The costs of road raising (i.e., how much money was spent on road raising activities and what would have been costs to implement pumps, new pipes/ infrastructure, etc. with nominal changes to road elevation?)
  
  
• The impacts on private property and actions required by property owners
  
  
• Palm Hibiscus Project results to-date with respect to effectiveness of road raising
  
  
• Lessons learned to inform policy making
