The Historic Neighbourhoods Strategy (HNS) Allandale A Neighbourhood Reconstruction Program is currently in the design phase. The program includes the reconstruction of all infrastructure and roadways in the HNS Allandale A Neighbourhood:
- Jacobs Terrace (Innisfil–Alfred)
- Marcus Street (Jacobs–Campbell)
- Alfred Street (Jacobs–Campbell)
- Campbell Street (Anne–End)
- Wood Street (Alfred–End)
- Centre Street (Anne–Caroline)
- Caroline Street (Alfred–Innisfil)
The HNS Allandale B Neighbourhood Reconstruction Program is also currently in the design phase. Together, these programs include the reconstruction of infrastructure and roadways in Barrie's Allandale Neighbourhood.
Project Update
September 12, 2023
As part of the design phase, the buildings on 47 Alfred Street have been acquired by the City and will be demolished in 2023. The property will also provide location for realignment of Hotchkiss Creek to accommodate a culvert replacement under the Barrie-Collingwood Railway.
The contractor will begin demolishing the building at 47 Alfred Street once required permits and locates have been obtained. The anticipated start date for the demolition is September 2023.
During the demolition, Alfred Street will remain open with a minimum of one lane of through traffic. Sidewalks and pedestrian access on Alfred Street will be unaffected. Emergency Services access will be maintained at all times. The September 2023 information bulletin is being distributed to nearby residents.

About Neighbourhood Reconstruction Programs
Neighbourhood Reconstruction Programs (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.
Roadways in these neighbourhoods were identified as candidates for full right of way reconstruction based on aggregated risk associated with surface and subsurface infrastructure. The Pavement Condition Index values rate the physical condition of these roadways in the range of fair to very poor, the majority of which are poor.
Given the age and deteriorated condition of infrastructure, other lifecycle strategies are not expected to significantly extend the existing remaining life of current assets.
Full reconstruction of the right of way will improve service levels to the community, allow the City to monitor the performance of the assets over time, and bundle the application of future lifecycle activities together. This will reduce capital and operating costs in the long term, minimize disruption to the community, and limit environmental damages from construction. Learn about pavement management.
