A Daylighted Creek – Restore Strawberry Creek in Civic Center Park is a survey option
Strawberry Creek in Strawberry Creek Park used to flow underground in a concrete culvert. Removing the culvert and restoring the creek to its natural state above ground open to air and light is called daylighting. There is State of California grant money available for daylighting creeks through The Urban Creeks Restoration and Flood Control Act of 1984 and other grants.
If you would like to see Strawberry Creek daylighted in Civic Center Park please check that box in the MLK Jr. Civic Center Park survey section and let the project team know why you support daylighting Strawberry Creek in the comment boxes.
To submit your comment, go to the survey at: https://qualtricsxmjph7lvfxl.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_aa71ggvGKG50ZIa
