Description

Flooding has long been a plague in the City of Brentwood along Deer Creek between Hanley Road and South Brentwood Boulevard with 26 floods since 1957, which caused significant public safety issues and property damage. The Brentwood Bound Project is a comprehensive plan to renew the Manchester Road corridor via three main components to the plan: Deer Creek Flood Mitigation, Manchester Road Improvements, and Deer Creek Greenway Connector. The flood mitigation component of Brentwood Bound includes improvements to Deer Creek that when completed will create more flow capacity along the creek to alleviate frequent widespread flooding and provide opportunities for businesses in the area. In addition to the flood mitigation improvements, the City of Brentwood is constructing the Deer Creek Greenway Connector, a new park pavilion with amphitheater, retention ponds and a destination playground. The completed improvements have the potential to connect to more than 28 miles of greenways in the St. Louis region as well as to the new parking lot to Brentwood Park. A groundbreaking event occurred in April 2022 for the Deer Creek Greenway Connector with completion scheduled to occur around summer 2023. The Brentwood Bound Project is funded through a combination of grant funding, partnerships, funding from certificates of participation, and a one-half of 1% economic development sales tax.
