Cross vanes are being constructed in the stream between Hunt Place and Minnesota Ave to help keep the water in the center of the channel preventing high flows from eroding the stream banks. The cross vanes are constructed so that the stones in the banks are at a higher elevation than the stones in the center of the channel. The cross vanes also create areas where water can pool downstream of them which create areas for fish habitat and fish passage. The stones used in construction of the cross vanes are large, heavy, and strategically placed so that they will not be compromised during heavy storm flows.
