Following the historic floods of 2019, the City contracted a flood study to help identify structural and non-structural enhancements to the City's flood response and defense systems. The study was approved by Council in November 2021 after nearly two years of data collection, analysis, stakeholder, and public input.
Planning for implementation began immediately and is now underway. Most initial activities will be focused on underground infrastructure, minor road raises, and repairs to existing structural flood defense systems in poor repair. Targeting these initial improvements comes with considerable benefits, including more efficient response and reduced resource needs during times of flood.
Use this page to follow along as the City strengthens its response to riverfront flooding. Be aware full implementation of the recommendations identified in the study will require significant funding and take time to implement.
