Daylighting Indian Creek: Reversing Bad Past Decisions.
Dennis Cannon, City of Caldwell.
Jeff Klausmann volunteered to assist the county with drafting a Planned Unit Development ordinance because of his interest in wildlife corridor preservation. He will share the experience, including gaining an appreciation for a collaborative process of governance.
Jeff Adams, a regional planner, is busy implementing goals of the Blaine 2025 plan. He will explain the benefits of making TDRs an option in your community and how the new TDR process will work in Blaine County.
Mr. Cannon will take us on a virtual tour of the “before and after” Indian Creek.
Before: waste discharges into Indian Creek in the early 1900’s badly polluted the creek, leading to the entombment of the stream for ½ mile through the center of downtown Caldwell.
After: water quality improvements in the creek, resulting from the Clean Water Act implementation, inspired the community to daylight, reroute, and restore the stream to create six acres of new greenbelt in the heart of the downtown, to serve as the nucleus of the city center revitalization.
