Project Information

Project Overview

This project will remove this existing ~ 2' of deposition along the entire length of the channel south of the bike path underpass and north of Interlaken Pass. This will restore the channel to the original design grades. 

This project will also replace existing broken plastic pipes from the adjacent raingarden to the greenway and replace these with fire-retardant concrete pipes and apron endwalls – allowing staff to maintain this area with prescribed burns. 

This project will also install a 6'x6' catch basin upstream to collect sediment prior to entering the greenway to reduce future deposition within the channel. This material is burying the existing storm outlets, contributing to street flooding and reducing the flood capacity of this channel. Additionally, accumulation is also impacting the rate at which the water drains from the adjacent bike path, these improvements should help improve these issues.

Project Limits

Interlaken Pass north to bike path overpass.

Project Schedule

Construction anticipated for summer 2026.
