Neighborhood Advisory Alsace Lane Stream Restoration The Alsace Lane stream restoration will repair severe erosion of the stream banks near homes on Alsace Lane. The stream restoration area is approximately 400 linear feet long and is located from the Ardennes Avenue outfall to the convergence of the tributary from Halpine Road. The restoration measures consist of: decreasing the slope of the stream banks, installing bank toe protection devices, installing grade control devices, installing storm drain outfall improvements, and removing of debris jams and unsafe trees. The project also involves installing vegetative stream revetments, tree protection, reforestation, and invasive plant controls. The narrow strip of open space adjacent to the stream will be maintained for passive recreation use and will have new two-inch diameter trees installed at the top of the stream banks. The stream restoration project will provide environmental benefits such as: reducing stream pollution by decreasing soil erosion along stream banks, controlling invasive plants, increasing riparian buffer and habitat, and protecting the existing forest.
