A conceptual design of the proposed salmonid enhancement project in Mosquito Creek Park, and a question and answer sheet were distributed. The Committee was advised that Phase I of this project is located in the District of North Vancouver, and was completed in the summer of 1998. Phase II of the project is planned in the City of North Vancouver. These projects could give the fish a better spawning success rate by offering calmer water, higher nutrients, better spawning areas, and protection from high waters. Phase I included an intake in the creek, the creation of a number of ponds, and channels linking the ponds together.
Mosquito Creek has steelhead, cutthroat, and coho.
The channel would be through an area where there is evidence of past flooding. River bolders and gravel can be found under the top layer of organic soil throughout this area, and would be utilized throughout the project. The majority of construction materials were found on site for Phase I, as well as the side channels that the City built during 1998. The informal trails that lead through this area would be realigned where they interfere with the project. It would be technically possible to connect to Phase I in the future.
