Leon Valley weighs options to limit flooding
Rainwater washes over Alley-Kinman Drive near Huebner Creek and Raymond Rimkus Park in Leon Valley on June 30, 2015. The city is considering a flood mitigation project.Recent rain and thunderstorms were a reminder to Leon Valley residents of the impact flash flooding has had on their community in the past.
The creek then increases to 40 feet wide between the Huebner-Onion Natural Area Park, adjacent to Raymond Rimkus Park, and the historic Huebner-Onion Homestead. As it goes underneath the Bandera Road bridge, the width of the creek increases drastically to 150 feet wide and to 400 feet wide south of the bridge.
Moritz presented the council with four options for the first segment of the project. Option one: Widen the creek channel to a 500-foot bottom width, removing 53 properties from the 100-year floodplain. Option two: Widen the creek channel to a 180-foot bottom width, removing 42 properties from the floodplain. Option three: Widen the creek channel to a 75-foot bottom width, removing 18 properties from the floodplain.
As part of this option, the creek would be expanded to a 50-foot bottom width in front of Raymond Rimkus Park and then be widened further at the Bandera Road bridge.
