Underground Water Storage

Dr. Jeremiah Cameron Park & Westport Stormwater Improvements Project

As part of the $25M stormwater infrastructure investment for Kansas City’s Westport District, Dr. Jeremiah Cameron Park is playing a critical role in stormwater management as the final water storage point to manage discharge before reentering the existing combined sewer system.
 
The Westport Stormwater Improvements project will:

• Add over 3.5 million gallons of underground stormwater storage.

• Change the land’s shape to make more space and easier access to Westport.

• Build a pedestrian path from 43rd Street to Mill Street through the park.

• Plant new native trees.

• Identify dedicated space for future park improvements that are not included in the current funding.
