Portions of this segment impact private property, so easements would be required. However, there is the opportunity to improve floodplain conditions for these properties by evaluating the flow capacities under the Blenheim Boulevard Bridge. bridge the potential for flood mitigation also allows for additional funding sources to be leveraged such as the community flood preparedness fund because private properties are so close to

accessibility and visibility to a project here and improvements in this area are also proposed within the Fairfax circle small area plan again private properties are close to the stream and are impacted by the flood plane so easements would be necessary and there is also an opportunity here to provide flood mitigation by evaluating the flow capacity under the picket road bridge because the stream corridor is fairly narrow and constrained by private properties to the north and the property yard to the south. Those stacked stone walls would likely need to be implemented to control erosion in this area. The last segment is 3,000 feet long and located downstream of the ongoing Stafford Drive stream

we presented these stream restoration project options to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board on June 12th and we received feedback they recommended that improvements to water quality should be the deciding factors in selecting the next stream restoration project. Daniel's Run has the highest potential for water quality improvements in erosion control. It also happens to be the most requested area for stream restoration by survey respondents. PRAB also recommended prioritizing restoration around the Fairfax Circle Small Area Plan and finding opportunities to reduce impervious areas around the stream. They also requested that staff ensure that a future restoration project would be compatible
