The Jamestown Tributary is a small creek that flows into Little Walnut Creek.
Project Details
- Stabilize approximately 2,600 feet of streambank, from Thurmond Drive to Payton Gin Pocket Park, using natural limestone boulders, mechanically stabilized earth walls, and graded slopes.
- Upgrade storm drain pipes along Jamestown Drive to reduce localized flooding.
- Install a bridge over the creek on Fairfield Drive to reduce flooding over the roadway.
- Plant native vegetation along the streambanks and remove large concrete debris. This will restore the natural character of the creek and improve water quality.
Note: To construct this project and begin stabilizing the banks, we will need to purchase drainage easements along eroding streamside properties. A drainage easement gives the City limited rights of access or use. They are generally needed either to access and maintain infrastructure or to provide a place for water to flow. Residents should not build fences, walls, sheds or buildings within a drainage easement.
