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.

Watch the video above to see the improvements made to Mud Creek as part of Phase 1 of the project.

Project update meetings

The City of London hosted a meeting on September 20 at Cherryhill Library about improvements being made to Mud Creek. Londoners could speak with staff, review display materials, and ask questions at this meeting.

A second drop in meeting then took place on October 25 at Fleetway Bowling Alley (The Spare Room) for anyone who could not attend this first meeting. At this meeting, attendees could also speak to City staff about a zoning by-law amendment and draft plan of subdivision application at 323 Oxford Street West, 92 and 825 Proudfoot Lane.

  • Fall 2023 Tree Removals

    Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this link

    To achieve the full rehabilitation of the channel and access the area for this work, extensive tree removals are required, along with the removal of debris and invasive species vegetation. Please be advised that the City makes every effort to preserve trees on all of its projects. For this project, a Tree Assessment identified the need to remove mature trees to complete the work, which includes both native, invasive, and cultivated tree species.

    After the improvements are completed, the area will be replanted with native trees, shrubs, and grass species to ensure full restoration of the natural environment. The mitigation strategy also includes a 3:1 tree replacement; with any trees that cannot be naturally accommodated within the project limits being planted in other recommended locations within our City.

  • 2024 Channel Reconstruction

    Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this link

    The City’s 2024 channel project will include approximately 800 linear metres of natural channel reconstruction from the CN Rail embankment northerly to Oxford Street. This channel will be widened to approximately 60 meters wide and will be up to 2 meters deeper than the current elevation to reduce flooding on Oxford Street and surrounding properties. This work will support this year’s 2023 construction of a new culvert pipe underneath Oxford Street and connect to the newly reconstructed Phase 1 Mud Creek channel section between the CN Rail and Wonderland Road in 2021/2022.
