Identifying Actions
As a result of the damages caused by the extreme weather events, the project identified repairs and resiliency enhancements to shoreline erosion control infrastructure as being the primary action of this project. These repairs stretch from Marie Curtis Park in the west to Bluffer’s Park in the east and includes 11 TRCA erosion control assets within Ashbridges Bay Park, Bluffer’s Park and Humber Bay Park East and West. The City’s proposal also recognized that healthy trees provide an essential stormwater management service that can proactively mitigate the risk of floods. By expanding the City’s newly planted tree program and increasing tree maintenance and natural area restoration, the proposed projects aims to increase the number of healthy trees that provide this service. Native plantings along the shoreline will also provide erosion control, proactively addressing erosion post floods.
