FUTURE RAILROAD CROSSING CONSTRUCTION
The City of Puyallup and BNSF Railway are working to redesign and rehabilitate city railroad crossings over the next few months. The restoration process will involve removal of the asphalt crossing approaches and replacing them with specialized concrete which will provide a more durable crossing surface. Visit the Public Works homepage for tentative dates of upcoming railroad crossing construction and pictures of the recently restored Meridian crossing.

DECOURSEY PARK WATERFOWL LOWERING STRATEGY
As part of the ongoing effort to protect and improve DeCoursey Pond and Clarks Creek water quality, trained dogs will be used to perform ‘hazing of waterfowl’ at the DeCoursey Park in May-June 2013. Hazing is a proven strategy used to move nuisance waterfowl out of public spaces without any harm to the birds or any impact on park visitors or park neighbors. Click here to learn more.
