Construction has begun on the Mill Creek Bank Protection Project and could extend through mid/late February.
"These improvements will help reduce erosion, protect infrastructure, and improve long-term stream stability along Mill Creek," said City Engineer Mark Jolissaint. "The City appreciates the public’s patience as crews work to complete this important safety and environmental improvement project. Crews have currently installed environmental controls, including silt fencing, a cofferdam, and a temporary creek diversion to create a safe, dry work zone."
The work will be taking place in two main areas -- the Mill Creek banks adjacent to Rotary Park, and the creek banks west of 400 East.
Rotary Park Site
A portion of the project area behind Rotary Park has been closed off with chain-link fencing to protect the public during construction. This will impact access to some parts of the park. 
Work will include:
• Excavating unstable bank areas
• Installing geotextile fabric, riprap, and gabion structures
• Rebuilding and reshaping the creek bank and floodplain in accordance with plans
• Restoring natural creek flow once stabilization is complete
• Final grading, seeding, and environmental restoration
West of 400 East Site
Work will include:
• Excavating in the creek bed and installing a concrete grade control structure
• Restoring natural creek flow once stabilization is complete
• Final grading, seeding, and environmental restoration
The public is asked to avoid these construction areas while the Mill Creek stabilization work is being done.
