Background:

Background:

Parks Operations received a 311 request to inspect the condition of the stepped shore wall in Assumption Park.

The Assumption Park shore protection along the Detroit River consists of two treatments, vertical sheet steel pile walls with railings and stepped armour stone block revetment open to the water.

The section of shore protection east of the Ambassador Bridge consists of 180 metres of stepped armour stone revetment. This section of the armour stone has experience some differential settlement that has made the steps uneven and sloped toward the river. The high water and wave action has resulted in the steps being consistently wet.
