Community Need
Repeated flooding and drainage problems can damage homes, yards, streets and other neighborhood infrastructure.
Colby's Role
Second Ward Alderwoman and constituent advocate.
Action Taken
Documented resident flooding complaints, elevated property-specific concerns, connected residents with appropriate City and engineering contacts, and followed major stormwater and infrastructure projects affecting Harvey.
Result / Current Status
Resident concerns have been incorporated into broader infrastructure discussions while individual properties continue to receive case-specific follow-up. Advocacy has included coordination around stormwater improvements and the Central Park detention and separate-storm-sewer work. This entry does not claim that a repair is complete.
