However, residents are concerned about the ecologically sensitive habitat, which is home to beavers and other wildlife.
The river is also an important habitat for salmon.
Officials plan to meet Monday with members of the city and environmental experts to discuss the incident.
The cause of the accident is still under investigation, but park users say speed and heavy truck traffic along 16th Avenue has become a problem.
