Last week we wrote about a meeting held between residents who live along the Ballard Roadside Raingarden pilot project (map of project here) and Seattle Public Utilities.

At the meeting, residents raised concerns about the ineffectiveness of the raingardens and the design standards. After the meeting, Deputy Director Nancy Ahren said the city would respond in a week. On Friday afternoon, this letter (.pdf) was sent to residents outlining a plan-of-action, which includes moving forward this week with retrofitting the raingardens that aren’t working.
