Project Update: Smedley Preserve Stream Project begins!

We're excited to share that mobilization for the Smedley Preserve MS4 sediment reduction stream project began this week! Over the next 2-3 weeks, construction crews will begin building out the project.

Timeline: Construction will continue for approximately 6-7 months.
Access: The Preserve will remain open to the public during this time.
Safety Reminder: Please avoid all designated construction zones for your safety and the safety of the construction crews and park staff.

About the Project:

• Sediment removal and stream restoration 
• Removal of most manmade ponds
