Robbins Stormwater Park and Midlothian Creek Restoration Project

The MWRD is working with the village of Robbins to help reduce flooding, restore Midlothian Creek, and create recreational and economic development opportunities to strengthen and revitalize the community. The Robbins Heritage Park and Midlothian Creek Restoration Project helps address overbank flooding through a new stormwater park and pond, along with improvements to Midlothian Creek and an overflow channel that connects to the Cal-Sag Channel. Bioswales will be planted to capture stormwater runoff and reduce sediment loading. The project will enhance the existing stormwater drainage system, which will provide protection for 100-year rain events. The estimated cost of construction is $30 million.
