Hello Neighbors,
Like many of
you, I'm hoping June will finally bring dry weather! In May our DPW
crews once again worked tirelessly, keeping an eye on high water areas
during torrential rains. This heavy rain caused flooding in our parks
and fields, but caused little to no damage to the City. That is a testament to our hard-working men and women and of course, the City's flood control project. Baker Park serves as a critical catch basin for the overflow from Carroll Creek during storms.
This month marks the 42nd Anniversary of the largest flood in The City of Frederick,
caused by Tropical Storm Agnes on June 23, 1972, when waters reached
over 35 feet at the Monocacy Blvd Bridge. It was this severe flooding
that prompted the development of Carroll Creek from a natural creek to a flood control project, removing downtown Frederick from the 100-year floodplain and restoring the City's economic vitality.
Today, with the final phase of the Carroll Creek Linear Park Project underway, I think it's important to remember the original goal of
the project, and when you see flooding in Baker Park, stop and
appreciate the purpose it serves to keep our downtown residents and
businesses dry.
As always, feel free to contact me or members of the Board of Aldermen. Our information can be found on the left side of the City E-News. We are here to serve you.
-Mayor Randy McClement
