Public meeting

The City of Waterloo and it’s engineering consultant for this project, GM Blueplan Engineering, is hosting a Public Information Centre (PIC) so local residents can ask questions or provide information regarding the planned reconstruction of Moore Avenue in 2024. Subject to approvals, construction is tentatively scheduled to occur from spring 2024 to late 2024. The construction limits are shown in Figure 1. PIC details are as follows:

Date: Thursday December 7, 2023

Time: 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Place: Elizabeth Ziegler Elementary School

90 Moore Avenue S., Waterloo

This informal meeting provides interested residents an opportunity to review the preliminary design plans, ask questions of City and engineering consultant staff, and learn more about the overall project scope and schedule.

The City encourages all interested residents to attend the PIC and learn how to receive further information about the project prior to construction. Residents should be aware that vehicular access to both the roadway and private properties is often restricted during construction activities. Construction will be completed under “road closed – local access only” conditions and primarily between 7 am and 7 pm.

Residents with special needs including mobility issues, those who require frequent deliveries or frequent access to their property, or similar requirements, are encouraged to attend to begin discussions regarding accommodation. If attendance is not possible, please contact the City’s Project Manager (contact information below) at your earliest opportunity. The Contractor and site inspectors will attempt to accommodate residents to the best of their ability while not compromising the safety of the construction zone. However, certain circumstances may require additional discussion and planning; advanced notification allows for alternative arrangements to be made.

Meeting discussion topics often include:

  • Identifying trees that may be removed.
  • Alternative parking when access to the road and/or private driveways is restricted.
  • City standards for replacing sanitary and water service pipes.
  • Measures to mitigate impacts to landscaped features on private property.
  • Waste collection and mail delivery procedures during construction.
  • City standards for replacement of driveway accesses within the municipal right-of-way and measures to be implemented to mitigate impacts to private driveways.
  • Potential requirements for access to private property in order to replace water and sanitary service laterals and associated disturbances.
  • City policy regarding boulevard areas with landscaping completed by residents.

Should you have any questions or concerns regarding this project and cannot attend the PIC, please contact the City’s Project Manager.
