To address the many locations in the Gee Creek basin that experienced flooding due to Hurricane Irma in 2017, the City of Winter Springs initiated a comprehensive stormwater study of the entire Gee Creek Basin in Winter Springs. The study was performed by CDM Smith, a stormwater consulting firm, and it addressed three main items: 1) what happened during Hurricane Irma; 2) why did it happen; and 3) what can be done to minimize future flooding in the basin.
The study looked at the basin as a whole, and examined specific problem areas including: 109 Lido Road, Hacienda Village, Moss Road at Gee Creek, etc. The intention is to give everything a “fresh look” based on the current conditions, explore any solutions that may be available, and to then prioritize and implement projects.
The City paid $50,000 for the study and it was completed in March 2018, however we don’t believe anything was ever done.
We need a fresh set of eyes and ears added to our city government. We need someone who will hold our city accountable for taking care of the residents and their needs. We need someone serving on the commission who will follow up on these important action items.
We need Victoria Colangelo.

Thank you for sharing the truth.

This says nothing other than a proposal for the study was made. It does not indicate if the city approved & paid for the study or if it was completed. Once again incomplete information. The politics in this community is HORRIBLE on all sides which makes it difficult to weed through the truth & lies for a new community member.
