Questions prospective architects and design firms are asking about the new Walbash Community Centre Design.

 

Answer to question about the fill material on the site or near it.

A1. To the City's knowledge, there is still a small amount of residual impacted fill material noted to exist below or adjacent to the remaining concrete rail bed in front of 40 Wabash Avenue that should be removed from the site as part of any future development work. The City will arrange and co-ordinate with an independent environmental consultant to provide environmental and inspection services, however, the prime consultant will be required to co-ordinate and implement any requirements of the investigation in the tender and contract documents. Based on the results of the Environmental Assessment Report, the details of further remediation or risk assessment strategies will be known.
