Happy International Women's Day Rehabilitation work is underway at the Vista Promenade and Water's Edge Park Shoreline. JUST THE FACTS • Vista Promenade and Water's Edge Park is bordered by Bronte Heritage Park to the west and Water's Edge Drive to the east. • Assessments by the Town of Oakville determined shoreline protection mea- sures at this location had deteriorated over the years and had even accelerated due to recent high lake water levels. • In December 2020 the town began re- habilitation work at the Vista Promenade and Water's Edge Park shoreline. • This work will include reconstruc- tion/improvements of shoreline stone pro- tection and upgrades to trail and park landscaping. • Some of the proposed changes include accessibility improvements asphalt pav- ing, pathway widening, drainage improve- ments and tree planting. • The majority of stone placement work along the Vista Promenade portion is scheduled to be done by the end of March (weather permitting). • The overall site restorations along with the trail and landscaping improve- ments are scheduled to be complete in spring of 2021 (weather permitting). • The overall budget for the project is $2.3 million.
