Tuck Creek Phase 2 & 3 – New St and Spruce Ave

General Overview

After the Aug. 4, 2014 flooding, Aquafor Beech Limited was hired by the City to complete a Flood Mitigation Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) in the Tuck Creek watershed between the Hydro Row and Lake Ontario. 

Five alternatives were developed and evaluated to reduce flooding within this area. Based on the results of evaluation and consultation with the City, Conservation Halton and the public, Alternative 4 was selected as the preferred alternative. Alternative 4 is upgrades to New Street, Regal Road and Spruce Avenue crossings and creek width increases. This alternative will reduce the number of buildings at risk of flooding during a '100-year storm' and regional storm. 

As recommended by the EA study, the work will be completed in three phases:

Phase 1: Regal Road Bridge upgrade and channel improvements.  Completed in 2019.

Phase 2: New Street Bridge upgrade and channel improvements.  Channel works completed in 2020. ...
