Ramblewood Revitalization: Your Voice Matters in Shaping Our Future
Exciting changes are coming to the Ramblewood neighborhood, and your input is essential! This initiative goes beyond addressing drainage issues—it’s about safeguarding homes, improving our neighborhood park, and building a brighter future for our entire community.

Here’s what’s planned:

  • Better storm drainage: Upgraded storm sewers on Lotus, Buxley, Woodmont, and Brookston Streets to tackle flooding and reduce ponding in the neighborhood.
  • Stormwater detention: A multi-use facility in Cambridge Village Park, adding nearly 24 acre-feet of detention capacity to manage heavy rains.
  • Park improvements: New and improved amenities, making the park even better for recreation while still serving as a key flood protection site.

Why is this important?

The neighborhood has faced serious flooding challenges, and this project is designed to make a real difference. It’s also an opportunity to enhance a beloved community space while solving critical issues.
