New waterfront park takes shape in Lakeview,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
we want to bring people to the waterfront and (have them) walk the waterfront. the last 100 years or so,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Dion noted,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the shoreline, which stretches from Etobicoke Creek to the eastern edge of the Ontario Power Generation lands,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], was degraded and goal is to create a new natural park and,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], significantly,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], close a glaring gap on the waterfront trail running across the city. Booth Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The Region of Peel,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Credit Valley Conservation,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], City of Mississauga and the TRCA are partners in the project.
Five different designs were presented for public feedback. Some two million cubic metres of fill, mostly excavated from the Hanlan feedermain project,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], will be used in construction of the park, which will jut out into Lake Ontario.
Normally, says Ward 1 Councillor Jim Tovey,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who represents the area,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that fill would be trucked and dumped outside the city. That would have cost Peel some $75 million in trucking and dumping fees. Instead, the money saved will be spent on construction of the park.
great that we able to make use of this clean fill,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], said Tovey. the very least we will take 50,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 diesel truckloads off the roads every year (during construction of the park)."
The designs presented feature pleasing blocks of wetlands, treed swamps,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], forests, meadows and, of course,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a cobble beach with headlands. Three of the designs feature off-shore rocky islands to mitigate soil erosion. A bonus is that there will be an opportunity to revitalize Serson Creek,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which flows through middle of the study area. Currently,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a number of factors prevent fish from migrating into the creek from the lake.
Serson is just a ditch now,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], said Tovey.
Dion notes an EA is usually done to eliminate or reduce a project potential impact on the environment before it begins.
flipping it around by taking a degraded piece of property and improving it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he said.
By April, the preferred option will be revealed. If the EA passes muster with the Ministry of the Environment,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], construction is expected to start in June 2014.
