Collaborations
The Village is participating in the Capital Area Regional Planning Commission Green Infrastructure Planning process. This initiative is a collaborative, watershed-level green infrastructure planning effort that first began to develop last year. Green infrastructure is a broad range of practices that mimic natural processes for managing stormwater and reducing flow to surface waters. CARPC started looking for opportunities to work with communities on these issues at a regional scale after the results of the A Greater Madison Vision Survey highlighted flood mitigation, particularly through green infrastructure, as a top regional priority.
The Village acknowledges that flooding is a regional issue and continues= to look for other ways it may collaborate with regional partners.
Projects
In response to the 2018 Flood Event, Village is currently scoping flood mitigation projects. As part of this, the Village Board authorized the Village of Cross Plains Flood Improvement Study. Conducted by Jewell Associates Engineers from Spring Green, Wisconsin, the study identified a series of projects to reduce the impact of a similar flood event. The Village will utilize this study to pursue grants and guide land use policies in the future. The Village continues to identify and maintain smaller drainage ditches, swales, storm sewers, and infrastructure to maintain the Village's internal drainage.
