It’s no secret that Oakwood Drive has been prone to flooding for years.  Just look back to last November when Oakwood was flooded after a deluge of rain fell in Miami Springs.

According to the City of Miami Springs, the Oakwood & East Drive Improvements will begin on Monday, February 12th.  The project purportedly includes drainage enhancements in Stafford Park & East Drive shared path construction. The city expects intermittent East Drive sidewalk closures and a brief Stafford Park hiatus.

Missing from these plans are any mention of Forrest Drive (just a block away) which has had its share of flooding.
