Coyote Parkway Freshwater Wetland Project

Construction work on the Coyote Parkway Freshwater Wetland Project began in August 2006. Grading of the wetland basin and installation of inlet and outlet structure have been substantially completed. Installation of the wetland plants is complete. Installation of upland plants began in December 2006 and is expected to be completed by March 2007. The project is expected to be completed on schedule in March 2007.

The 7.5-acre site south of the Highway 85 and U.S. 101 interchange will support habitat for wetland vegetation and wildlife.
