Vista Grande Drainage Basin
Alternatives Analysis

The City of Daly City is preparing the Vista Grande Drainage Basin Alternatives Analysis based on the recommendations of the Vista Grande Watershed Plan. The purpose of the alternatives analysis is to develop and evaluate alternatives that will reduce or eliminate flooding, reduce erosion along Lake Merced, and provide other potential benefits such as habitat enhancement and lake level augmentation. The Vista Grande Drainage Basin Alternatives Draft Report is available below. The recommended program outlined in the plan includes construction of a new stormwater tunnel, construction of a detention basin in Westlake Park, and potential for treatment wetlands in San Francisco to treat stormwater for diversion to Lake Merced.


Public Meetings

The City of Daly City hosted a public meeting on Wednesday, September 17, 2008 at Larcombe Clubhouse (in Westlake Park) to provide residents and interested stakeholders with an update of the alternatives analysis associated with the Vista Grande Drainage Basin. The presentation is available here. Please provide your comments on the Draft Report and Supplemental Analyses by October 17, 2008.

The City of Daly City held two public meetings on February 21, 2008 and February 26, 2008 to provide interested stakeholders with a summary of the draft report. The presentation is available here.

If you have any questions about the alternatives analyses or the public meetings, please contact Robert Ovadia at (650) 991-8266 or email rovadia@dalycity.org.
