Project Summary:
Tetra Tech conducted inspections on rock slopes for the City in 2008, 2018 and 2023, and slope remediation programs were carried out at in 2010/2011, 2017, 2020 and 2022.

Crosby Road rock slope is the number one priority. To reduce the risk of rock fall from this location installation of drape mesh system was used in 2022 as a mitigation option. The 2025 project would install rock anchors at identified locations and drape mesh on the remainder of the slope.
