Content: | PASADENA - Completion of the Central Arroyo Stream Restoration Program in Pasadena will be marked with a dedication ceremony at 4 p.m. Wednesday in the outdoor area west of Rose Bowl Aquatics Center, 360 N. Arroyo Blvd. Mayor Bill Bogaard and Tim Brick, managing director of the Arroyo Seco Foundation, invite the public to join them for this Advertisement milestone event. The $2.5 million project covers more than 20 acres near the Rose Bowl and included water quality islands to filter oil and grease run-off in the Brookside Park parking lot, the removal of invasive plant species, planting native California trees, reconfiguring the streambed to foster reintroduction of the native Arroyo Chub fish, and installation of more than 400 trash capture screens to prevent litter and debris from entering the Arroyo Seco stream. Major funding for this project was provided by the California State Water Resources Control Board. For more information, call (626) 584-9902, or visit www.arroyoseco.org |
