City crews have been busy re-instating the ditch alongside Dog Creek Road where there is ongoing land slippage.
“We own that part of the road and have been dealing with it for a couple of years,” said Joe Engelberts, city manager of water and waste. “We need to try to keep that material from coming onto the road so we are putting the material back as best we can.”
At this time there is no long-term plan for the site but the city will monitor and return to the site on an “as-needed” basis, Engelberts said, noting because of the wet spring this year there has been a lot of movement compared to past years.
Last year city council committed to continue to develop a monitoring response plan for the areas impacted by land slippage in the Hodgson and Dog Creek Road areas.
When contacted by the Tribune, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure said it could not respond to a media query about ongoing monitoring in the area until after the election.
