Millbrook Exchange Park Stream Project Public Meeting

Millbrook Exchange Park 1905 Spring Forest Rd, Raleigh, NC

Raleigh Stormwater is hosting a public meeting to discuss the status of the Millbrook Exchange Park Stream Project. At this meeting, the City will be answering questions and soliciting feedback and concerns from the public. Learn more about the Millbrook Exchange Park Stream Project. Background In 2019, an innovative technique using in-stream stone structures was implemented to reduce stream erosion at Millbrook Exchange Park and prevent pollution from flowing into Perry Creek. After the project was completed, heavy rainfall and streamflow damaged the structures. The City has contracted with Ecosystem Planning & Restoration (EPR) to make necessary repairs to the project. Proposed repairs include raising the elevation of the streambed, armoring the structures with stone, and constructing a floodplain bench that will be planted with native tree and shrub species.
