- Bow River FREC Project
Repairing and constructing a new wetland area to improve the quality of the storm water released into the Bow River and improving the flood resilience of the area. In addition to the new wetland, the project also includes a new vehicle-rated pathway bridge.
The Storm water facility was significantly impacted by sedimentation of the pond during the 2013 flood. The sedimentation reduced the capacity of the system to store and treat storm water and has had significant algae issues as a result. The existing foot bridge was also damaged by the flood and is being replaced.
The new storm facility and bridge will be constructed along side the Bow River pathway in the neighborhood of West Point.
