From the transcript
Uh, we've worked, uh, with both tribes and with Watershed Forum, reached out to them, so We're also hopeful that this might actually get some culverts between Cemetery Creek, the city cemetery, all the way down to North Beach so that juvenile salmon can get up into the freshwater streams and have a good life cycle. So hopefully keep the numbers up. And we'll be working, I think, with the Parks and Rec Department later this summer for another one to look at Old Town Park improvements potentially. That's still TBD, but we're looking at finding additional grant opportunities just to move a lot of these projects. It's one thing to be in a plan.
