This includes flooding issues within the Muddy Branch (MB) watershed in the areas of East Deer Park Drive, Oakton Road, Woodland Road, and Tulip Drive. An MB Creek Regional Concept plan was developed to mitigate these issues. This solicitation contains two (2) improvement opportunity areas, MB-4 and MB-5, each of which has specific proposed projects.

The MB-4 Stormwater Design Improvement concept summarizes opportunities along Woodland Road and its intersections with Rolling Road, Hutton Street, and Tulip Drive.
