Streambank stabilization project to begin in Cleveland Park
July 23, 2018
Work is scheduled to begin this week on a streambank stabilization project in Cleveland Park. The project limits are from just upstream of Cleveland Street on the Reedy River to the area where the Reedy River and Richland Creek meet, with the initial work occurring next to the Major Rudolf Anderson, Jr. Memorial. The project scope includes replacing invasive plants with native vegetation, planting hundreds of trees and shrubs and constructing stream enhancement measures. The exposed sanitary sewer pipes within the park will also be covered as part of the project.
Temporary detours along the Swamp Rabbit Trail may be necessary during the course of construction, but signage will be posted to alert trail users in advance. Weather permitting, the project is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
