An $89-million plan to prevent basement flooding in Windsor is getting the full backing of council.
The plan was rolled out by Mayor Drew Dilkens and City Engineer Mark Winterton on Monday and approved by council on the consent agenda.
A series of 12 projects are planned for the Riverside and east Windsor areas as a response to two major flooding incidents in the last two years.
The work includes road reconstruction and enhancements to the St. Paul Pump Station.
The city is hoping to help offset some of the costs of the plan by accessing up to $32-million from Ottawa's Disaster Mitigation and Adaptation Fund.
