Mud Creek Phase 2A and 2B
About this project
The Mud Creek project is designed to alleviate existing and future flooding concerns in the area to support future development and pathway connectivity, while protecting the environment and wildlife surrounding Mud Creek.
This project includes:
- Alleviating existing and future flooding concerns identified in the Mud Creek Subwatershed Environmental Assessment
- Improvements to support future development in the area
- Creating an naturalized and stable channel corridor to support the ecological environment and wildlife
- Creating new recreational pathway connections
- Landscaping to enhance walkability and public amenity space
This work will reduce the frequency of flooding in the area, improve the ecological condition of the corridor, and create a new multi-use pathway for residents to use along the creek.
The City will be starting site preparations for the fourth phase of the Mud Creek project (Phase 2B) this fall. The project is meeting the recommendations of a 2017 Environmental Assessment and an Environmental Impact Study public process. The studies concluded that the Mud Creek channel system was in poor condition and recommended to enlarge the channel to reduce flooding on Oxford Street and to improve the environmental habitat. Work began in 2021 in phases for several improvements along Mud Creek, and is continuing this fall and in 2024 in the area of Oxford Street and Proudfoot Lane.
