About:

The Town of Longboat Key, has identified Bayview Drive, De Narvaez Drive and Juan Anasco Drive in the Sleepy Lagoon neighborhood as the locations of concern that are subject to sunny day flooding due to high tides and king tides and subject to increasing flood risks due to Sea Level Rise (SLR). The Town previously contracted with Kimley-Horn Associates, Inc., KHA, to evaluate the impacts of rainfall, tidal events, and SLR on the roadways and infrastructure in these areas within Sleepy Lagoon, and to identify projects to mitigate impacts.

A list of general recommendations, mitigation, and adaptation strategies were developed and discussed in the KHA Report and a link to the report is provided HERE. The strategies that were identified are possibilities to be implemented in this neighborhood and in the Town as best practices to improve resiliency.

ISS was selected by the Town to provide the engineering services to increase resiliency by designing and permitting stormwater improvements to mitigate flood impacts due to sunny day flooding caused by high tides and king tides that are subjected to increased flood risks due to SLR for the minimum 25-year/24-hour storm event.

ISS will assist the Town with public communication and coordination. If a resident within the Sleepy Lagoon neighborhood has a question or concern regarding the project within Bayview Drive, De Narvaez Drive, and Juan Anasco Drive, please use the Contact Us link below to send a question that will be addressed by ISS, with the Town’s input.
