Building with Nature: Implementing a Green Shores approach for Shore Road
EF 2023-24 · 2023-06-07
Résumé
The Project aims to protect 555 meters of a vulnerable, strategic coast road in Halifax and increase community resilience against coastal erosion and flooding. This will be achieved by implementing green infrastructures, such as replacing existing stone with native vegetation; instating a salt marsh; and installing a rock structure (sill) to dissipate wave energy and protect the shore. As part of the shoreline rehabilitation, a raised permeable waterfront trail will also be installed for access to nature, along with increased native vegetation and rain gardens.

Description (French)
Le projet vise à protéger 555 mètres d'une route côtière stratégique et vulnérable à Halifax et à accroître la résilience de la communauté contre l'érosion côtière et les inondations. Pour ce faire, des infrastructures vertes seront mises en place, telles que le remplacement des pierres existantes par de la végétation indigène, l'installation d'un marais salant et d'une structure rocheuse (seuil) pour dissiper l'énergie des vagues et protéger le littoral. Dans le cadre de la réhabilitation du littoral, un sentier perméable surélevé sera également installé pour permettre l'accès à la nature, ainsi qu'une augmentation de la végétation indigène et des jardins de pluie.
