Public Meeting #2

24 March 2026

The City of Waterloo, together with the City of Kitchener, invites you to attend a public information meeting about the reconstruction of Moore Avenue South to see how it may affect your property, business or residence. This informal ‘drop-in’ style information session provides you with an opportunity to review the project in detail with City and Project staff.

The public information session will be held:

Date: Thursday April 2, 2026

Time: 7 to 8:30 p.m.

Place: Waterloo City Hall - Main Atrium

100 Regina Street South, Waterloo, ON

Main atrium can be accessed from doors facing parking lot. The meeting space is accessible.

This second public meeting will be attended by representatives from the City, it’s engineering consultant, WalterFedy, and the contractor hired for this project: Regional Sewer and Watermain. Representatives from all three be available to answer questions regarding the upcoming construction.

The purpose of the meeting is to allow residents to view the final designs and ask questions about the construction process and how they may be affected. If you have not already done so, please contact the City of Waterloo’s project manager regarding any mobility or medical challenges you may have to ensure that accommodation can be made during construction. Without this information, decisions may be made during construction that favour expediency over access, based on the assumption that special accommodation is not needed.

Construction is anticipated to start on or about April 13, 2026. Updates during construction may be posted on Engage Waterloo at various intervals or prior to key events. Please ensure you are signed up to receive updates from Engage Waterloo when posted.

Prior to the start of construction residents may be contacted by a company retained by Regional Sewer and Watermain to conduct a pre-construction condition assessment of your property.This survey will include visual inspection and photography of various interior and exterior features of your home to determine pre-construction conditions in the unlikely event that damage is caused during construction.Please respond to the inspection company as soon as possible to schedule an inspection as the timing window is small.

Once construction starts, the typical work hours will be 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Construction will be phased by block, with Waterloo Street to Roger Street occurring first, then Roger Street to the municipal boundary occurring second. Some work may need to occur in both areas at the same time so please be cognizant of vehicles and materials at all times.

During the initial few days of construction on each block, residents may have roadway access when the contractor is not working directly in front of your driveway. Once the initial setup work is complete, the contractor will remove the roadway asphalt and curbs and begin replacing underground infrastructure. During working hours and occasionally overnight, the roadway will be closed and residents will need to park their vehicles on nearby streets.Overnight access restrictions are more common near the end of construction when new curb, sidewalk and driveway aprons are installed due to the curing time needed for concrete.

Residents will be provided with one or two parking passes per household/unit. The parking pass allows for parking on nearby streets for longer than three hours (where no specific time limit is posted) or overnight. All parking related signage must still be obeyed and all other parking rules still apply (e.g. no parking in front of fire hydrants, no parking within certain distances of driveways or intersections, etc.). For more information on parking rules please refer to the City’s Traffic and Parking bylaw on the City’s website:
