Exciting things are happening along Nine Mile Creek. Design work for the Nine Mile Creek Corridor Renewal Project is complete, and construction will begin this spring. To prepare for upcoming infrastructure and park improvements, necessary tree removal took place in February and March. The process focused on younger, less desirable species to promote a healthier forest over the long term, allowing sunlight to support native plants on the forest floor, reducing erosion and giving room for remaining trees to grow stronger.
A groundbreaking event will be held later this spring. The project includes enhancements at the Harrison, Moir and Central parks corridor, along with construction of the new Veterans Memorial at Harrison Park, 1701 W. 100th St.
This renewal project will improve park spaces, restore natural areas, and enhance the overall creek corridor for the community to enjoy for years
to come.
Residents are encouraged to watch for more details in the coming weeks, including information about the groundbreaking event and other restoration updates at bloomingtonforward.org/9mile.
