The City of Oakland has been working on a community-driven creek restoration project that will improve three daylighted sections of Courtland Creek, within Courtland Creek Park. The Courtland Creek Restoration Project (Project), an Oakland Measure DD Initiative, will protect, enhance, and restore approximately 950 feet of open creek channel.
Together with FlowWest, CA State Parks and an array of partners have advanced this important project that will create over 200 acres of new habitat for baby salmon from concept to construction. FlowWest has been the lead consultant on every phase of the project, from grant writing, to a feasibility study, to design and permitting, and construction monitoring.
