Following up on that report earlier today about rising water levels in Rambo Creek – City Hall reports that the Rambo Creek Erosion Control Project between Victoria Avenue and Emerald Crescent, part of a 2020 City Wide Creek Erosion Assessment Study identified ongoing erosion along Rambo Creek between Victoria Avenue and Emerald Crescent, posing a risk to public infrastructure, utilities, and nearby private properties.
Project scope
Rambo Creek is right behind the No Frills supermarket.
On the west side of the creek, erosion has caused the channel to widen, bringing the top of the bank to within less than 1 meter of private infrastructure, including a parking area with a wooden fence and concrete barrier wall.
Several small stormwater outflows in the area are in poor condition, and runoff from the adjacent parking lot is also contributing to further erosion.
As part of this project, the City will complete restoration in this section of Rambo Creek.
The project will include creek bank stabilization, minor channel realignment of the low-flow channel, and additional measures to protect the surrounding area.
