City staff are implementing the flood strategy plan as the river rises which includes installing pumps and closing gatewells.
Water pump discharge hoses are being placed across the Rock Island portion of the bike path. The hose locations will be marked. Please use caution when crossing over the hoses. Portions of the bike path will be closed due to the high water and will remain closed until the river level falls below 16 feet.
The Sunset Marina fuel dock will close and pump out service will be discontinued by the end of the week.
Sunset Drive from 31st Avenue to the Park Shelter and Skafidas Parkway will also be closed by the end of the week.
