One of Redmond's biggest assets is our natural environment. Federally protected Chinook and several other species of salmon run through Bear Creak and the Sammamish River. This enhancement project will protect their stream and riparian habitat.
Council approved construction of the "Bear Creek at 95th Street Stream Enhancement Project," with Olson Brothers Excavating, Inc. of Puyallup, Washington, and Approval of Final Contract in the Amount of $410,686.41.
The project will enhance about 680 feet of Bear Creek habitat downstream from the 95th Street bridge. Large woody debris will be installed in the stream banks and channel. The stream banks will be graded to create alcoves and gentler slopes. Trees and shrubs will be planted.
