As predicted, the higher-than-normal spring runoff in Mission Creek that caused flooding in May and June also damaged work done in recent years by the Mission Creek Restoration Initiative project.

MCRI coordinator Steve Matthews said Thursday repair work needs to be done to the floodplain, as well as fish habitat restoration that was completed in 2016. But he said the The Mission Creek Greenway dike on the south side of the creek between Casorso Road and Gordon Drive will remain open while the work is undertaken next week and again in October.

These upcoming works will involve minor adjustments to ensure the long-term health and productivity of the creek.香蕉视频直播�

Work crews and heavy equipment will be on site from early next week. Greenway users are being asked to avoid the work area, watch for construction crews and equipment, and respect signs to ensure the safety of all workers and the public.

Phase-1 project engineer Don Dobson said while the restoration work generally performed as designed during the flooding, the well-above-average runoff did cause some changes that now need attention.
