The City of Thunder Bay’s Parks & Open Spaces Section and the Lakehead Region Conservation Authority are looking for the public’s feedback on proposed improvements at the Mountdale/Neste Boat Launch and surrounding park area. To participate in this click on “Read More” for the link and more information on the survey.
The Mountdale Boat launch is located on Mountdale Avenue, off Montreal Street and provides access into the Kaministiquia River and then to Lake Superior.
The LRCA and the Parks & Open Spaces Section have put together a Concept Plan which outlines proposed short term improvements including increased vegetation along the riverbank and the addition of biofiltration basins to catch and filter storm run-off water before it enters the Kaministiquia River. Also included in the Plan are long term improvements to the parking area, an accessible dock, and a viewing platform.
The LRCA has received funding from Environment and Climate Change Canada and the City of Thunder Bay to begin environmental improvements at Mountdale Boat Launch.
“The joint goal of LRCA and the Parks & Open Spaces Section at this phase of the project is to restore riparian habitat at the site and reduce sedimentation in the Kaministiquia River,” said Jessie McFadden, Watershed Stewardship Technician – LRCA.
