The Buena Vista Creek Restoration Project
Buena Vista Audubon Society is partnering with the City of Oceanside and Dudek to help restore a section of Buena Vista Creek near Lake Blvd and Thunder Dr. The City was awarded a $275,800 grant from the California Department of Water Resources in 2020 to plan and design a restoration project for this heavily urbanized and degraded section of creek. This stretch of creek has been marred by stream bank erosion, overgrown areas, and trash and pollution from illegal encampments. The grant will fund planning, design, and community engagement activities. These activities include engineering a design for stream bank stabilization and riparian vegetation restoration, creating plans for public access opportunities, and community outreach.
We want to hear from the public concerning what you envision at the project site. The City is holding two public workshops to describe the project and to gather input from the public. The first workshop is January 27, from 4 pm - 6 pm at the Salvation Army (3935 Lake Blvd). An online survey is being developed as well (this will be posted on the City's website soon).
