Wellington Neighbourhood Reconstruction Programs

The Wellington Neighbourhood Reconstruction Programs(NRPs), D1 and D2, are currently in the design stage. They include the reconstruction of infrastructure and roadways in Barrie's Wellington neighbourhood.

NRPs encompass multiple local roads that are in the same localized neighbourhood. All of the Right of Ways identified within each of the NRPs require similar type and amount of reconstruction work as many of the linear infrastructure (watermains, sanitary sewers and roads) were constructed in the early to mid 1950’s and have reached or nearing the end of their useful lives.

This neighbourhood contains some of Barrie's oldest subsurface infrastructure outside of the downtown core, and was identified as a candidate for full right of way reconstruction based on aggregated risk associated with surface and subsurface infrastructure.

Given the age and deteriorated condition of infrastructure, other lifecycle strategies are not expected to significantly extend the existing remaining life of current assets or deliver expected service levels.

Full reconstruction of the right of ways in this neighbourhood will improve service levels to the community and reduce the risk of asset failures and service disruptions. This will reduce capital and operating costs in the long term, minimize disruption to the community, and limit environmental damage from construction. Learn about pavement management.
