Project Updates

April 2021: 60% Detailed Design package under development.
June 2020: 30% Detailed Design package under development.

Project Features

The objective of this project is to:

• Replace the existing culverts at Bradford St and Innisfil St that are in poor condition with larger culverts that can manage more water. This will help to reduce flood waters over topping at Innisfil St and Bradford St and reduce flood impacts in that area.
• Restore a portion of Bunkers creek from Innisfil Street to Lakeshore. This will provide better opportunities for habitat in Bunkers Creek, provide an engineered floodplain and a natural channel design.
  
• Watermain and sanitary sewer modifications will be made at Innisfil St.

Schedule

​​​Traffic Imacts

​The project will be staged to minimize the disruption to residents however, a road closure that prohibits through traffic (vehicle and pedestrian) will be required during construction.  Construction will be completed based on the in water works timing windows for any fish species that may be located within the Creek.  Design considerations will be made to attempt to minimize the length of construction duration.

Properties impacted by construction, will have temporary accesses constructed to allow for driveway access.
