The district is working on an estuary management plan, which will inform future land and marine use decisions.
The plan will be created following an overall review of estuary restoration, conservation priorities, blue carbon opportunities, and a proposed marine project referral body.
It says an overall master plan is needed to identify the bigger infrastructure projects in the estuary.
This includes the training dike alignment, Squamish Terminals, and addressing continued habitat enhancement and recreation interests.
“We are moving forward to pick up on needs arising through Central Estuary Restoration Project, and because the Squamish Estuary Management Plan has fulfilled its objectives,” the district says.
The district is also planning to replace culverts on Loggers Lane this year.
There are three old metal corrugated culverts under Logger’s Lane, and a one meter section of one of them has caved in, requiring the district to place a road plate over top of it.
The other two culverts are in similar condition and close to failure.
This project will replace the three culverts this year.
