On November 10th, representatives from Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services, and Wildlands Engineering, Inc. will give a project update at the Park and Recreation Commission meeting. The Park and Recreation Commission,which is made up of citizens that serve as a liaison between the Park and Recreation Department and Citizens of the County, is one of the stakeholders for the Reedy Creek Stream Restoration project.

This month, we walked the Reedy Creek project site with representatives from state and federal regulatory agencies. The purpose of this walk was to review the current conditions of the site and preview the design approach.

We are excited to announce that 30% concept plans are complete. The design team continues to develop a strong concept that will restore the streams to their natural shape, flow, and location in the landscape. Here is a glimpse at the design approach:

We’re excited to announce that topographic survey for the Reedy Creek stream restoration project is complete! This type of survey is performed to determine the shape of the existing streams and their floodplains. You may still see scientists and engineers with plan sets walking the streams as they develop their designs.
