People living in Mamaroneck may soon have protection against flooding that has been plaguing their village for decades.
The Army Corps of Engineers is addressing the problem by re-evaluating its dormant 1989 mitigation plan.
The revised plan includes nearly 2 miles of channel modifications intended to widen, deepen and lengthen the Sheldrake and Mamaroneck rivers, including creating 8 ½-foot retaining walls.
The plan also calls for removing or replacing five bridges.
If the plan is implemented, it could cost more than $70 million. A total of 65 percent would be federally funded. The remaining amount would come from the state, county and village.
The Army Corps of Engineers will give a presentation on its report to the village and public on Feb 25.
A public comment period will run through March.
