7.A <br /> open lane on Broadway, and we encourage Stanford Hospital and Clinics to pu�c�r��s� <br /> and prepare to use these devices for the upcoming 2010/2011 wet weather season. <br /> Traffic control can be supported by the Redwood City Police Department during peak <br /> events. This method will not reduce the presence of water in the vicinity of the Clinics, <br /> but should help to maintain public right-of-way access to the property for patients and <br /> employees. <br /> To ensure that the existing infrastructure facilities are fully utilized, the city is c�mmitted <br /> to on-going annual assessment and maintenance of pump stations and pipes in the <br /> area. Prior to each wet weather season, the city performs pre-season maintenance and <br /> readiness inspections, including cleaning debris from drain inlets, flushing storm pipes, <br /> and lowering levels of detention basins to increase storage capacity during rain events. <br /> Year-round, the city inspects, tests, and exercises the pumps, generators, and the <br /> electronic monitoring system (SCADA) to prepare for storm events. <br /> City staff has further identified the following long-term options as potentially providing <br /> more consistent and effective solutions: <br /> . Establish a county-wide flood improvement district in San Mateo County to <br /> fund and implement larger-scale flood protection improvements; <br /> • Identify, procure, and utilize additional low-lying lands for storage of run-off <br /> during storm and/or high tide events (we estimate that 100 acres or more <br /> will be needed to be effective); <br /> • Redirect the city's Broadway pump station volume from the Bayfront Canal <br /> to the Steinberger Slough to reduce the inflow to the canal from the <br /> Douglas Street and Fifth Avenue pump stations. <br /> FISCAL IMPACT <br /> Improvement cost for different options is unknown at this time, pending further study. <br /> Approximately $6 million is available from the Capital Improvement Program fund for <br /> improvement of the Fifth Avenue pump station and drainage area. . <br /> � v <br /> Gra e, P.E.
