Brevoort Park South Flood Control Redesign
Official title: Brevoort Park South Redesign
Why This Matters
Live near Early Drive and Tucker Crescent? You've probably seen water pooling on streets during heavy rain—or worse, in basements. This project aims to stop that. The park will be closed until Fall 2026, so if your kids play there, you'll need to find alternatives for a while.
What Could Change
The new underground tanks will store about 9,000 cubic metres of storm water—enough to significantly reduce street flooding during 1-in-10-year storms. About 6 trees will be removed, though the City will compensate according to its tree policy. The $10.3 million project is 40% federally funded.
Key Issues
- How will the park be restored after construction?
- What are residents' preferences for the park design?
- How will tree removal be handled and compensated?
