  "projectDescription": "The Reed Court Floodplain and Stormwater Improvement Project is located on the west side of Portage Creek north (downstream) of Reed Avenue on 4.2 acre City-owned brownfield parcel.  The project will combine stormwater treatment with enhanced floodplain connectivity and flood capacity of Portage Creek while providing an opportunity to link pedestrian pathways with educational signage. The project will assess and protect important natural features at the site while incorporating native Michigan vegetation into the riparian, wetland, and upland areas created for on-site stormwater treatment, riparian restoration, and wildlife habitat. Stormwater will enter the project area and flow to Portage Creek through a series of constructed sediment traps, pools, and swales to reduce direct stormwater inputs and pollutant loads.  The project is ideally situated to provide an additional 1.2 acres of floodplain storage by reshaping portions of the west bank of Portage Creek and constructing two backwater channels parallel to the main channel. The project location is at the transition zone in channel gradient from rocky swift conditions to slow velocities and soft bottoms. Providing backwater at this transition zone allows for dampening during peaking flows as well as valuable amphibian and reptile habitat.  Initial funding was provided to complete a Feasibility Study.",
