This project will stabilize approximately 1,400 linear feet of creek behind Eubank Drive from North Bend Drive to Walnut Creek.

The goal is to protect yards, trees, buildings and infrastructure by stabilizing the stream banks. The project includes the following:

  • Stabilization of the creek to prevent loss of land and fences from erosion
  • Enhance native vegetation along the stream banks
  • Restore the natural function of the stream
  • New landscaping and planting throughout the project area

Status and Timeline

Our capital improvement projects take many years from start to finish. The process typically includes the following phases:

  • Feasibility Study – when information is collected to identify potential solutions.
  • Preliminary Engineering – when a solution is identified and costs are estimated.
  • Design – when the details are worked out and construction plans drawn up.
  • Bidding and Permitting – when a contractor is hired and all permits are acquired.
  • Construction – when the project is built.

This project is currently in the Preliminary Engineering Phase where potential solutions are developed and identified. With progressing erosion, we aim to expedite the Preliminary Engineering Phase and anticipate beginning the final Design Phase in 2023. Construction is expected to occur in 2025.
