This area is a popular destination for visitors and important for City residents, businesses and economic activity. Meyers Pier was constructed circa 1905 and has been used for various purposes since. Ownership was transferred to the City in the early 2000’s.


The pier is approximately 120m (400ft) long from the shoreline to docking portion of the pier which supports a building (restaurant) and fuel facilities. The pier itself consists of evenly spaced ballast filled timber cribs with steel girders supporting a concrete deck with timbers along both sides. There are several utility lines including electrical and fuel that run the length of pier. An inspection in 2020 identified deterioration and an additional inspection in 2021 resulted in completing emergency repairs.


The City of Belleville is undertaking a Schedule C Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) and Preliminary Design Study to provide a long-term solution to the sustainability of Meyers Pier to serve its intended range of functions. The process includes mandatory consultation with the public, government agencies, stakeholders, and Indigenous rightsholders. The next step in the Environmental Assessment process is to conduct technical studies, including archaeology, cultural heritage, natural environment, shoreline engineering and dynamics, structural and sediment condition investigations and economic and social analysis to inform the evaluation of alternative solutions and design concepts. The MCEA will address a range of options from “Do Nothing” to major pier rehabilitation or replacement.
