Environmental Evaluations

As part of any site development, the City undertakes environmental investigations to discover potential areas of concern and to identify any mitigations that may be needed.

Preliminary archaeological, environmental, and species-at-risk assessments were completed. While there were not any significant elements discovered in these initial screenings, these technical documents and considerations guide the preparation of the design plans.

Recent river high-water levels during recent flood events in 2017 and 2019 have been recorded and will also inform the design of the site through mitigations in the landscape design and protection measures for the existing ruins.
