Project completed in 2017
Project Number: E08676
Located on Fanno Creek in the Fanno Creek Watershed

Environmental Services replaced an aging culvert on Fanno Creek at SW 45th Avenue. The new larger culvert improves stream flow and allows fish to pass through. Two green street planters were also constructed along SW 45th to capture and filter stormwater runoff before it flows into Fanno Creek.
