Urban streams face a multitude of challenges, such as careless development and polluted runoff. However, with careful consideration and thoughtful design, these streams can become valued amenities. That can only be accomplished by treating riparian corridors with respect, and recognizing them as dynamic natural features that can add to the richness of the city. This project focuses on Flat Creek and its relationship to the town of Jackson, Wyoming, taking into account the history of the area as well as a thorough study of existing conditions. Several cities, including San Luis Obispo, CA, Boulder, CO and Breckenridge, CO have already accomplished similar stream restorations and can be used as examples to learn from. A design proposal and recommendations offer a new vision for the creek corridor, showing that there is a great deal of potential for making it a more visible and celebrated feature of the community.
