Grindstone Creek Erosion Control Environmental Assessment (EA) Study completed in 2020 identified erosion and unstable slopes within the Grindstone Creek in Sumach Drive and Unsworth Avenue area. The study found four areas of concern (AOC) and recommended erosion control work to be done.
The City of Burlington will be starting the work this year. The work will include bank protection, minor channel realignment and fish habitat improvements.
As public engagement is an important part of city projects, the City will give residents, neighbourhood businesses, community members and interested parties the chance to learn more about the project and comment at a Public Information Centre (PIC).
An Online Public Information Centre (PIC) will be hosted where the residents will have an opportunity to share input, concerns, and comments regarding the construction of the project.
When: Wednesday, Jan. 25, 2023, 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. (one-hour presentation, 30-minute Q&A)
Where: Online Teams Meeting - https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/microsoft-teams/join-a-meeting
