Field Design


Because the exact condition of the stream could not be determined in advance, this project is being done as a design-build. The contractor is working from 30% construction plans with frequent input from the designers and City staff. Here, the project team is discussing when and how to remove willows that lean over the trail.  These willows will be cut where the orange line has been painted across the trunk.  The trunks, branches, and leaves will be used for staking and in willow wattles; the root ball will be used for further bank stabilization and to give the stream a more natural look.
