It was noted that <br />drainage improvements are essential" to the success of this development. One obvious <br />engineering solution to the issue of drainage would be to construct a storm sewer beneath the <br />railroad and discharge the collected run-off from this site into a regional storm water pond that <br />the City had constructed to accommodate the drainage of Business Park 95.
