Renovate creek into stormwater harvest system and recreational amenity at Trout Brook Regional Trail
Construction of stormwater harvest system to complete the re-introduction of the creek as a stormwater feature and recreational amenity for trail users. This is the final phase of providing healthy stream system along the trail. The creek will provide an enhanced connection between people, development and stormwater with open water, habitat, cleaner water at the outlet and a focus for the resting spots along the trail within the former brownfield site.
