Toronto & Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) Partnered Projects (aka The Good News!)
Frenchman’s Bay Stormwater Management Master Plan
• The Master Plan is complete and was approved by Council in April. Part of the 25 year implementation plan, the Amberlea Creek Erosion Control Project has budget approval and the environmental assessment will commence in 2010.
Along with recommendations from the TRCA, the Ministry of Natural Resources has requested that ongoing monitoring/study plans be put in place to determine the exact causes of degradation to the Bay and its wetland area as ongoing mitigation efforts are implemented.
Western Gateway Project - Waterfront Trail
• Once again, many thanks to fellow TRCA board members for passing my motion which resulted in the successful negotiation with Waterfront Toronto to uphold a cost sharing agreement from the late 70’s providing for the Western Gateway project to move forward. The construction of the new pathway, bridge and lookout are complete. The landscaping plan is underway.
Official Opening, Wed. June 9th, 12 pm. Bottom of Rosebank Rd. at Bella Vista Dr. on the Waterfront Trail. Come on down and check it out!
Petticoat Creek Conservation Area Pool
• Demolition of the existing pool will begin shortly and construction to start thereafter. The facility will include a new pool and splashpad feature and accommodate swimmers of all skill levels. Both facilities will use green technologies. The pool will be closed for the 2010 swimming season and reopen for 2011.
