The City of Hamilton conducted a a review of the erosion processes occurring on the Cherry Beach shoreline. The review identified high erosion rates and a very steep bank with no established vegetation. As a result of the review, the City initiated the Class EA process to further examine the potential effects on property or lands that may be unsafe for development and to identify appropriate erosion mitigation measures, including a preferred conceptual design. The project involved the restoration of approximately 300 m of eroding Lake Ontario shoreline.
