As part of the City of Kitchener’s ongoing efforts to provide consistent and reliable service, we have scheduled road and sewer improvements in your neighbourhood on these streets.
The specific improvements scheduled for these streets are:
- Upgrade the existing storm sewer, sanitary sewer and water mains, including additional hydrants as required.
- Replace existing sanitary and water services from the new mains to the property line.
- Curb and gutter, and sidewalks will be installed.
- Approximately 40 metres of new sidewalk will be installed on Roxborough Avenue across the side lot of 76 Marlborough Avenue.
- Upgrade the asphalt roadway.
- Replace all driveway ramp entrances in concrete.
- Install and/or replace retaining walls.
These improvements will upgrade the existing, deteriorated underground services and above-ground surface features, in order to prevent future system failure. The project will be funded through utility user fees and will not result in a direct charge to the homeowner.
Construction is scheduled to begin around April 15, 2024 and be complete on or around November 14, 2025.
This project is expected to happen in two stages:
Stage 1 (April to November 2024)
- Roxborough Avenue from Highland Rd. W. to Admiral Road
- Marlborough Avenue from Roxborough Avenue to North Drive
Stage 2 (April to November 2025)
- Marlborough Avenue from Roxborough Avenue to Admiral Road
- Marlborough Road from North Drive to JF Carmichael Public School
- Admiral Road from Marlborough Avenue to Roxborough Avenue
In order to carry out these improvements, it will be necessary to close this street to through traffic. Prior to any road closure, signs will be posted on the approaching streets advising motorists of the date and the duration of the closure.
Pedestrian access will be maintained to all properties at all times and vehicular access to all properties within the construction area will be maintained for as long as possible. On-street parking permits, which will allow parking on adjacent side streets, will be hand-delivered to affected homes before vehicular access is cut off.
Before construction starts, an inspection of homes and businesses will be undertaken to determine the condition of buildings in the construction area. The selected consulting firm will contact you directly to arrange for a voluntary inspection of the exterior and interior of your building. This inspection is done to protect the property owner.
