First Project from 10 Year Action Plan - 3003 Grandview Highway
This enhancement project was the first of several improvements recommended in the Still Creek Enhancement Study (adopted by Council in 2002) as part of a ten year action plan to revitalize the Creek. View the report to council 
(1.20mb). The map below illustrates the location of the improvements.
The Location
Elements of the improvements include the replacement of non-native blackberries with native vegetation, the creation of a centre island, and a viewing platform with interpretive signage to enhance public access and understanding of the Creek.
Building the Design
Before
After
Construction was completed in summer 2005 with a community planting event the following fall. This creek section, now reshaped and planted with native species, will mature into a naturalized area offering improved biodiversity and rainwater management capability.
The project was primarily funded by the Still Creek/Greenway Enhancement Fund, with additional assistance provided by the GVRD and through grants from TD Friends of the Environment, the Public Conservation Assistance Fund and the Pacific Salmon Foundation. The project was designed by KWL Engineering and the native planting was coordinated by Evergreen with the generous help of community volunteers including the Still Creek Stewardship Society and students from Vancouver Technical Secondary School.
