The general goals of the project, in accordance with the recommendations set out in the Curtis Creek Flood Reduction Master Plan, are to:

1. reduce the negative impacts of flooding on properties in the watershed;

2. naturalize the channel to improve water quality and wildlife habitat;

3. provide slope stability and erosion control measures; and

4. improve the open space and pedestrian connections south of Euclid Avenue at Trent Street.

The project plans, additional project information and resources are available on Connect Peterborough, City’s online community engagement hub, at www.connectptbo.ca/curtiscreek. Residents can submit comments and ask questions through the online engagement tool.

Residents who are directly impacted will be consulted on an individual basis as designs are finalized. Local residents, Curve Lake First Nation, Hiawatha First Nation and Otonabee Region Conservation Authority have been approached as part of the ongoing work.

The project team will consider feedback received through Connect Peterborough as it develops the project plan.
