Heathrow Park Trail

and Creek Restoration

Toronto, Ontario

Once fraught with crime and undesirable users, this existing trail required major upgrades to alleviate substantial flooding and maintenance concerns. This asphalt path was continuously being washed out due to flash flooding, and the existing trail required major upgrades to alleviate substantial safety and maintenance concerns.

Rather than simply replace the asphalt, we conducted a thorough site investigation to determine the root cause of the flooding. Arriving on site it became evident the problems stemmed from existing culverts which fully enclosed this section of Black Creek tributary. Together we worked with the City, Conservation Authority, and a team of sub-consultants to return this creek to daylight.
