Rambo Creek Erosion Control Project between Victoria Avenue and Emerald Crescent

Location Map - Rambo Creek between Victoria Avenue and Emerald Crescent

The 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

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 outfalls 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, as shown in the location map. The project will include creek bank stabilization, minor channel realignment of low flow channel, and additional measures to protect the surrounding area.

Tuck Creek Flood Study Class EA

Construction Schedule

Phase 2 - 2025/2026

Phase 3 - 2027/2028

The City of Burlington undertook a Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) on Tuck Creek to assess flooding and identify crossing and channel upgrades between New Street and Spruce Avenue.

The study was undertaken as a result of the extreme weather event of Aug. 4, 2014, during which crossings at New Street, Regal Road, and Spruce Avenue were overtopped by flood waters. The city previously undertook a Class EA for erosion control on Tuck Creek within the same study area.

The flood study was conducted as a 'Schedule B' project in compliance with the Municipal Engineers Association document Municipal Class Environmental Assessment and is addressing Phases 1 and 2 of the Class EA Process.

The Class Environmental Assessment established recommendations, leading to Municipally-led capital works to address flooding and erosion risks. A set of alternative solutions were evaluated and presented to the public and agencies for comment at...
