Tosh Creek Restoration to bring back larger populations of salmon, reduce flooding

The Tosh Creek Watershed Restoration is quite a large scope of work. The six projects that make it up, are scheduled for completion by 2019.  Here's a clip from the City of Redmond website that lists the benefits:

Completion of the projects identified by this plan will:

• Reduce flooding in the neighborhood
• Prevent erosion in Tosh Creek
• Reconstruct stream channel segments to improve fish habitat
• Remove invasive vegetation and re-plant bare portions of the stream buffer
• Repair damaged stormwater pipes to avoid future flooding problems 

Ultimately, the combined suite of projects proposed in the Tosh Creek Restoration Plan will restore the ecological health of the stream, bringing back larger populations of Coho salmon, cutthroat trout, and other fish. This healthy stream will be a valuable asset for our community for generations to come!
