PARMA, Ohio — For the last year, some Parma residents have fought tooth and nail to prevent a popular lake from being turned into a catch basin. Next month, crews will officially begin draining Ridgewood Lake to make way for the project.
“Save Ridgewood Lake is really important to me. It’s pretty much the heart of Parma in my mind. Ya know, for me it really has a special place in my heart," said Alexander Simic, a lifelong Parma resident.A massive"Save Ridgewood Lake' sign has been splashed across the front window of his home since last year.“It’s sad. Ya know, this has been here for 100 years and it’s part of the community," said Simic.
"We hope to reduce that surface flooding by 40% by doing this project along Big Creek in that area. And we'll be able to hold back about four million gallons more than what was previously able to be held in that basin," said Donna Friedman, Watershed Team Leader Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District.
