Project Scheduling
The work on each street will start with concrete curb and sidewalk replacements, followed by the asphalt repaving work.
The Contractor commenced construction on Georgian Drive between Gaille Court and Penetanguishene Road the week of April 20, 2020.
The exact timing of the work on the other road sections is being determined through coordination with various road reconstruction projects within the City. However, the Contractor will set up signage prior to commencing the work on each road section to provide advanced notification of the upcoming construction activities.
Affected Services
Water, sanitary, sewer, Hydro, Telephone, Cable TV, and gas services should not be affected by the construction, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
Curbside Collection: On the normal
curbside collection day, residents are asked to place all garbage, organics, recyclables and yard waste materials at the front of your property as usual by 7am, otherwise these items might not be picked up. The construction contractor will remove these items and take them to outside of the construction zone, for pickup by the City’s waste pickup contractor.
Access to Properties
All reasonable efforts will be made to maintain vehicle access to driveways. However, there may be some temporary interruptions to access during construction. Access will be restored as quickly as possible. The Contractor will provide prior notice of any imminent access restrictions to the businesses and residents. Pedestrian access to all homes and businesses will be maintained during construction.
Safety
The Contractor is required to conduct his work in a safe manner, including fencing of deep excavations, etc. We ask that you take extra caution during the construction period to ensure everyone’s safety
Traffic Impact
All road will remain open to through traffic during construction, although lane closures and restrictions can be expected in order to accommodate construction activities. We ask for your patience in such instances.
