City of Oakland issued the following announcement on Dec 21.
The City of Oakland is in the early design phase of the Courtland Creek Restoration Project, which is located in Courtland Creek Park. The Project will restore approximately 950 feet of creek through grading, slope stabilization, and native plant restoration.
The design will incorporate input from neighbors, community members, and other stakeholders. The Project outcomes will include improved water quality, the stabilization of failing banks, reduced flood risk, private property protection, neighborhood beautification, reduced illegal dumping and trash accumulation in the creek channel and banks, and improved safety and access to the creek for recreation.
The Project cost is estimated at $4.5 - $5 million, and the City has secured $3,030,000 in funding so far. The City will partner with the Oakland Parks and Recreation Foundation to develop an equity-focused and collaborative community engagement plan this winter (2020), and plans to secure remaining funding and complete the Project by the end of 2024.
