The Metropolitan Council approved an ordinance authorizing Metro Water Services to acquire permanent and temporary easements across three properties at 1219 C Battlefield Drive, 1217 C Battlefield Drive, and 1208 Clifton Lane. This action is necessary for the construction of the 1219 Battlefield Drive Stormwater Improvement Project (No. 26-SWC-051). The acquisition will be pursued through negotiation, condemnation, and acceptance. The Metropolitan Planning Commission had previously recommended approval for the easements on October 7, 2025, finding it consistent with the city's infrastructure needs. The project is designed to upgrade local stormwater management capabilities.
