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.
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.

As public engagement is an important part of the city projects. The City will give residents, neighborhood businesses, community members and interested parties the chance to learn more about the project and comment at a Public Information Centre (PIC).
The project design is now complete and ready for resident feedback. A Public Information Centre (PIC) will be held to present the design, answer questions and gather feedback. Please see the Public Engagement information box for details.
Please contact one of our team members if you have questions or comments, or would like to be added to the project mailing list.
