The city of Clive may spend roughly $200,000 to build a pond in the Woodcreek neighborhood, near the intersection of Hickman Road and Northwest 156th Street.
At a meeting last week, the Clive City Council voted 5-0 to pay for a topographical survey of the area where the pond would be built. The council will vote on a final plan for the project after the survey is completed.
The council also voted to accept a $99,000 grant for the project from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources as part of the I-Jobs program. The total project cost is estimated to be $250,000 to $300,000.
Community Development Director Doug Ollendike told the council that the pond is an innovative way to manage the stormwater. It will be designed to look like a natural wetlands area. Hopefully it will be well stocked too! I’d love to have another pond I could bike to, since I always worry about getting run off Lake Halice.
