Rob,

 

Thanks for posting that link!   I drive by there every day and noticed the heavy equipment in the swamp wondering what is being done.  

 

Sounds like a good project though it would be nice if they could also deal with the outlet issues where it is supposed to go into Lake Ontario.   The other issue is that adjacent to the swamp is an old "sanitary land fill".    At present there aren't many fish there besides carp and tiny perch and tiny sunfish so it would be a nice recreational thing if they could get some toothy fish established.   The outlet is usually silted up to the point of having a land bridge with out water flow.  On rare occasion the water does flow for a short time but not long enough to make it an entrance for fish from the lake as other area ponds experience.

 

Nice to hear about this project.   Hope it makes a difference!
