The City of Grande Prairie is installing two slope movement monitors in the land north of the 68 Avenue bridge near Bear Creek from Feb. 25 to March 4 to aid in the ongoing assessment of the natural slopes, embankments, and retaining walls adjacent to Bear Creek.

Movement monitoring programs are valuable for managing slope hazards and providing useful information for the planning and design of remedial work.

The slope is secure and there is no danger to nearby homes.

Pedestrians will notice equipment and flaggers in the area. It is not anticipated that the Muskoseepi Park Trail will close for the installation of the monitors.

Work in the area includes:

  • clearing and leveling a small area of land close to the trails
  • drilling and installing the monitoring equipment.

All work zones will be properly signed and barricaded. The City reminds the public to watch for equipment and workers that may be present in the work area. Please obey all signage and proceed with caution.
