Crescent Beach Utility Improvements

Project description

We’re wrapping up the scope of the Crescent Beach Utility Improvements that received funding under the Federal Disaster Mitigation and Adaptation Fund (DMAF) Program. The installed works will manage the area’s fluctuating groundwater levels and service Crescent Beach’s long-term drainage needs.

With the drainage infrastructure completed to date, approximately 70% of properties in the community have a storm sewer fronting or flanking their property, which is comparable to other areas in the City. 

Phase 3 work update

The drainage work along Sullivan Street has been completed and the work along McBride Avenue which was paused late last year due to archaeological findings has resumed with an alternative drainage approach along McBride Avenue. 

Instead of installing deep storm sewers along McBride Avenue, the City will be installing a number of rock pits to manage local road drainage while minimizing subsurface excavation into archaeological sensitive soils.

McBride Avenue will also be re-paved up to Adams Lane. The repaving work will also include asphalt drainage curbs and gravel shoulders. The revised work is scheduled for completion by the end of next month (weather dependant) which will conclude this phase of the drainage improvements currently underway along McBride Avenue and Sullivan Street. Once this work is completed the City will monitor the effectiveness of this drainage infrastructure along McBride Avenue to determine if any future work is needed.

The City will also initiate a study to review feasible drainage servicing options for the remaining properties in Crescent Beach that do not currently have a storm sewer fronting or flanking the property.
