Cobbs Creek, West Philadelphia
Millbourne Cobbs Creek Bank Stabilization
Overview
Project #50223 is a construction project that will take place in/along Cobbs Creek, just north of Market Street, and in adjacent grassy and wooded areas next to the walking trail.
This project is a part of the PWD’s Strategic Watershed Improvement Plan for stabilizing and improving stream corridors and this work will directly support our 25-year green stormwater management program, Green City, Clean Waters.
As part of this work, the Water Department is planning to:
- Stabilize two separate portions of stream bank along Cobbs Creek’s main stem located just upstream of the Market Street bridge at 63rd and Market Streets.
- Please see page 2 for images of where the work will occur.
- Use the existing trail and grassy areas for both construction staging and work access and will make sure to navigate around the recently built rain garden in this area.
