Be Part of the Change: Cambridge Village Park/Ramblewood Project Virtual Meeting

Big things are happening in the Ramblewood neighborhood, and we need your voice! This project is about more than drainage—it’s about protecting homes, enhancing our neighborhood park, and creating a better future for everyone in our 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.
