Port Haney waterfront redevelopment - Maple Ridge

The City of Maple Ridge proposes to build a multi-use pathway (the "Project") to connect Port Haney Wharf and Kanaka Creek Regional Park. The proposed Project is located on the upland and along the north bank shoreline of the Fraser River, and over the 227 Street Tributary (the "Site"). The Site was formerly used as a log-sorting facility and is divided between the Port Authority, Provincial, and municipal jurisdictions. Upon completion, the Project will form part of the trail network of the "Experience the Fraser project", which intends to establish a multi-modal trail network between the Salish Sea and Hope.

The scope of the Project includes:

  • Removal of creosote-treated wood piles and cribbing along the shoreline
  • Removal of invasive and pioneer vegetation, including Himalayan blackberry
  • Approximately 2,800 m2 of riprap shoreline protection works along the north banks of the Fraser River to mitigate risks to the public and infrastructure from bank erosion and/or failure (works are anticipated to be complete in the dry at low tides)
  • Partial removal of a concrete boat ramp
  • Approximately1,300 m2 of riparian planting to offset riprap impacts from shoreline protection and vegetation removal works
  • Construction of a 3 m wide asphalt multi-use path northwest of the 227 Street Tributary 
  • Construction of a 3 m wide secondary gravel multi-use path southeast of the 227 Tributary
  • Installation of a lookout platform at the banks of the Fraser River at the top of the existing sheet pile retaining wall
  • Installation of a 15 m long by 3m wide prefabricated steel pedestrian bridge over the 227 Street Tributary, which would include precast concrete abutments on top of 10, 600 mm diameter steel piles 

Shoreline protection works would take place at low tide (no in-water works) and are expected to begin soon after all Project permits and approvals are received. Construction of the asphalt multi-use path (northwest of the 227 Street Tributary) is expected to begin shortly after completion of the bank armouring work. Construction of the pedestrian bridge would be scheduled from August 1 to September 15. The gravel multi-use path southeast of the proposed bridge will be advanced after bridge construction.
