Five major creeks in East Baton Rouge are scheduled to be cleaned and updated by 2022.
Residents met with city parish leaders last night to discuss the timeline of those planned drainage projects.
Some of those who live along Dawson Creek near Acadian Thruway say the flooding is bad enough that they worry it could happen again before the creek is dredged.
City officials said they are confident the improvements will reduce flood risks.
