40th Street Project Fencing

The construction of the new 40th Street sidewalk along the edge of a vacant City parcel impacted adjacent wetlands. As a result, City action is required to maintain water quality, habitat and the hydrologic watershed functions by protecting and improving the parcel’s wetlands. Crews are planting native plants to help improve wetlands on the parcel and will soon install additional fencing to prevent use as an unsanctioned park. Learn more in the 40th Street fencing FAQ.
