A new culvert will be constructed under Rainier Avenue South to protect the road from structural failure caused by erosion and to remove a barrier to fish passage in lower Taylor Creek. Fish Passage improvements are part of an agreement the city made with the Michael Shute tribe as part of the Mapes Creek Project.
