Construction Update November 29, 2019

Our contractor is working hard to wrap up for the winter shut-down. On-street parking is anticipated to start re-opening from Dover Street towards Lowther Street in the next couple of weeks. We appreciate the understanding and cooperation we have received throughout this major renewal of King Street.

A person is stationed at Westminster Drive to provide pedestrian help while crossing King Street during the commute to and from school. Help crossing this intersection will be available until the new traffic signals are operational. Traffic signal installation will begin in the next few weeks.

Progress since last Update:

· Water service connections to properties in Stage 2 along with sanitary service replacement is now complete.

· The road in Stage 2 has been excavated.

· Most of the road gravel has been placed in Stage 2 and the road is ready for curb.

Upcoming work over the next couple of weeks:

· Curb will be placed in Stages 1 and 2.

· Paving is scheduled for next week in both Stages 1 and 2.

· Crews will be working behind the curbs late next week preparing sidewalks and crosswalks for winter shut-down.

· Traffic signal work will begin in the next couple weeks following asphalt starting at Dover Street intersection, working towards Lowther Street.

· Traffic is scheduled to be moved back to the centre of King Street, and on-street parking will be allowed shortly after that.

Reminder: Garbage collection will be returning to regular pick-ups within the construction zone in the next couple of weeks. A notice will be delivered to all properties reminding everyone of the normal collection restrictions.
