View the final design for the rehabilitation of Silver Lake, Laurel Creek and Waterloo Park
The City of Waterloo is finalizing the detailed design phase of the recommended alternatives determined through the 2018 Class Environmental Assessment for the rehabilitation of Silver Lake, Laurel Creek and Waterloo Park. The Environmental Assessment recommended improvements to Laurel Creek and Silver Lake.
Channel improvements along Laurel Creek from the LRT tracks to University Avenue will be done to improve fish habitat, terrestrial ecology, the vegetative community and to reduce erosion. Silver Lake improvements will include removal of the accumulated sediment, reconfiguration of the shoreline and improved pedestrian pathway connections. Waterloo Park improvements will include new walkways, lighting, amenities, water fountain features and improved pedestrian circulation.
The city is carrying out the detailed design of the area in accordance with Phase 5 of Schedule ‘B’ of the Municipal Engineers Association (MEA) Municipal Class Environmental Assessment, process in compliance with the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act.
