East Fraser Lands (River District) Shoreline Resilience Upgrades

We’re upgrading a segment of the Fraser River to provide flood protection in the East Fraser Lands. This will help to mitigate flooding risks from sea level rise and storm surge events.

Upgrades include the construction of a flood wall and dike along the perimeter of Kinross Park. This work is being coordinated in advance of the 25.2 acres of parks to be constructed by the Vancouver Park Board.

How this project may affect you

Noise and vibration

Noise from large equipment to construct the earthfill dike, such as dump trucks, excavators, and compactors is anticipated. Efforts will be made to minimize noise, particularly during early hours, however, some noise, dust, and vibration is expected due to the nature of the work.

Advance notice will be provided for any work anticipated outside of regular hours with a noise bylaw exception permit.
