Proposed Watershed at Reed Park
Friends of Reed Park has worked closely with the Watershed Department to understand its proposed plan for Reed Park, which is in its design phase now and is scheduled to begin in 2025.
We support the goals of reducing flooding and erosion, and improving the water quality of Taylor Slough, but WE CANNOT SUPPORT THE CURRENT PLAN.
The Watershed Plan will permanently change the use, look, and feel of our park.
