Project Profile:

Please see the 2006 component of this project for background information.

The 2007 component of this project will involve:

• Completion of the new drainage ditch near and upstream of the ATCO line, including adding erosion control & re-vegetation.
• Completing connection of the existing storm line into the new drainage ditch.
• Removal of the temporary storm drainage ditch North of the properties along 55 Ave and construction of the permanent drainage swale which will provide the back-of-lot drainage for these properties.
• Finalizing the shaping of the noise berm (smoothing, re-vegetation) North of the properties along 55 Ave.
