Appleby Creek Flood Mitigation Municipal Class Environmental Assessment - Addendum

The Appleby Creek Flood Mitigation Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (ACFMEA) Study was completed in February 2019. The ACFMEA study evaluated alternative solutions along Appleby Creek, from New Street to the GO Transit Rail corridor (near Appleby Go Train Station), to identify specific opportunities to reduce flooding risk and protect the natural heritage features and functions within the study corridor. The ACFMEA recommended preferred solutions for three flood-vulnerable areas within the study corridor.

Windows-to-the-Lake are small park settings along the shoreline, connecting Burlington residents to Lake Ontario. They are a place to meet, take a rest, observe nature, listen to the waves, watch weather move across the water, and enjoy the beauty of sunsets over the lake.

The City will be enhancing these connections to the water over the next two years.  Each site renewal will provide, at minimum, a paved pathway and accessible seating.
