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.

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.
