Reach 5 – 1050m
Reach 5 stretches just over 1km and is characterized by high, rapidly eroding bluffs close to the Waterfront Trail and Lake Driveway West. This area has been designated high priority and proposed concepts to address erosion hazards are a cobble beach or revetment.
Preliminary Remediation Options for Consideration
The preliminary recommended option here is a revetment due to its immediate effect on preventing further toe erosion; however a cobble beach is another less hardened alternative that provides more access to the beach.
Reach 6 – 330m
Reach 6 wraps around Veteran's Point Gardens and features high bluffs and a natural boulder beach shoreline. Since erosion along Reach 6 could impact the trails around Veteran's Point Gardens, it has been designated medium priority.
Preliminary Remediation Options for Consideration
A cobble beach is proposed as the preliminary recommended remediation option here based on its ability to mimic the existing site conditions, however a revetment can also be considered for more robust protection.
