I remember some of the discussions when your condo was developed. The challenge was that the development is smack dab in the middle in the middle of a flood plain.
For a long time it looked like the condos would never be built. There was concerned that anything built would divert water to south of 25th Ave. The city expropriated two houses to make a little park by the 25th Avenue Bridge and the flood way was built between your condo site and Lindsay Park Sports Complex.
The condo complexes were built in a flood way but raised... so yes the condos in a flood fringe but the street you live on is a flood plain.
To me, it is an example of the lengths a developer will go to complete a project
