M NewBo & Czech Village

uch has already been accomplished in this low-lying district that has been vulnerable to flood threats in the past. Levees and pump stations have already been completed, with additional underground measures scheduled to be underway this year. In the next two years, residents will see additional above-ground floodgates at 12th Avenue and 16th Avenue, a raised floodwall that will protect the National Czech & Slovak Museum, and the largest pump station constructed to date.

By spring 2022, a decorative archway will greet visitors coming to the Czech Village District. The west-side floodwall will complement the aesthetics of the east-side floodgate.
