Engineering Services wishes to proceed with this project as it is required to ensure the long term
stability of the geenway bank by removing a section of the existing bag wall retaining wall and
replacing it with a more permanent concrete wall. The existing bag wall is deteriorating,
exhibiting a significant area of scouring at the base, voids behind the existing wall and a
pronounced bulge in the wall. While it has not completely failed, the proximity of the
neighbouring properties and their amenities make it critical that this area be repaired as soon as
possible to prevent further deterioration and slope failure.
