Stage 4 - Surface works and driveway access letter
Share Stage 4 - Surface works and driveway access letter on Facebook Share Stage 4 - Surface works and driveway access letter on Twitter Share Stage 4 - Surface works and driveway access letter on Linkedin Email Stage 4 - Surface works and driveway access letter linkPlease be advised that on or about July 17, 2024, crews will begin working on string line setup for upcoming installation of concrete curb and gutter to follow on Stage 4 of Sherwood. This affects Sherwood Avenue from Suffolk Avenue to Beck Street.
Driveway access during concrete work
The contractor estimates that driveway access will be lost for about 3-5 weeks while concrete curb and gutter, concrete sidewalk, concrete driveway ramps and asphalt road paving is planned to occur. The duration of lost driveway access is due to several factors including:
- time required for crews to complete their work
- time required for concrete to properly cure to reach its proper strength
- subcontractor’s schedule
- and other unforeseen factors such as weather
Crews will work diligently to complete this work in a timely manner. Wood planks/bridges may be constructed at various points along the site, by the contractor, over the newly poured concrete sidewalks to provide pedestrian access to properties.
On street parking
During reconstruction, temporary parking permits have been issued to displaced residents to allow on-street parking when needed. The permits list streets for parking options as you will be permitted to park longer than 3 hours and overnight. Permits are to be displayed on the dash of your vehicle. Ensure that your vehicle is parked in permitted areas only and that you do not interfere with any construction operations. Vehicles parked within the construction limits will need to be moved before 7am every morning.
We communicate with the Bylaw Enforcement team to ensure residents displaced by construction are noted, although illegal parking and/or safety related issues will continue to be enforced. If you require parking enforcement, please contact 519-741-2345. If you have any inquiries or require additional permits, please speak to the site inspector for further direction or contact the construction project manager directly.
Accessibility requirements
Please let the project manager know of any accessibility requirements. They will work together with the contractor to arrange suitable accommodations. This could include (but not limited to) accessibility parking needs, moving in or out of your residence, special deliveries, etc.
Curbside waste collection
For curbside waste collection, please write your address on all your containers and have out to curbside by 6 a.m. on your collection day. The contractor is responsible to ensure pickup of your waste items and return your containers within a reasonable amount of time after collection occurs.

Stage 2 Sod Acceptance Letter
Share Stage 2 Sod Acceptance Letter on Facebook Share Stage 2 Sod Acceptance Letter on Twitter Share Stage 2 Sod Acceptance Letter on Linkedin Email Stage 2 Sod Acceptance Letter linkAs a follow-up to the letter dated November 3, 2023, please be advised the City’s hired contractor has met their contractual obligations as it relates to the care and rectification of the newly sodded areas for stage 2. With the contractor now excused from the watering and maintenance of the newly sodded areas, it is now the property owner’s responsibility to continue the watering, maintenance and care of these newly sodded areas, as required.
After construction, depression settlement may occur, meaning the soil over the area that was dug up had settled. Should depression occur, rectification of the depression will happen during the project two-year maintenance period.
Please note new sod can may take up to two years to fully root and establish itself. The weather sun exposure and such can impact the establishment and health of young sod. We encourage property owners to continue periodic watering, care and maintenance of the sod going forward.

As part of the completion of the reconstruction of Sherwood Avenue, the city’s contractor has replaced the topsoil and sod on or adjacent to your property. The contractor will now be required to provide ongoing maintenance, including watering of the sodded areas until Saturday, June 29, 2024. After the 60 days, you will be notified by letter that the sod has been accepted, that it will no longer be subject to a warranty, and that ongoing care and maintenance will become the responsibility of the property owners.
In an effort to ensure the newly placed sod is given the best chance to root and survive the contractor will be subject to several requirements that will include:
- Daily watering for the first 7 days after the sod is placed.
- Ongoing watering during the first 60 days as needed: and
- Fertilizing with a granulated fertilizer and aeration
The city will inspect the condition of the newly sodded area at the end of 60 days. The contractor will be required to replace any deteriorated sod noted at the time of inspection. After this inspection and the replacement of any deteriorated sod, the care and maintenance of the sod will become the homeowner’s responsibility.
After construction, depression settlement may occur, meaning the soil over the area that was dug up had settled. Should depression occur, rectification of the depression will occur during the project two-year maintenance period.
Please note, new sod may take up to two years to fully root and establish. The weather, sun exposure and such can affect the establishment and health of young sod. We encourage property owners to continue periodic watering (adhering to the Region of Waterloo water use by-law) and care and maintenance after the end of the sod warranty.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact the city’s Project Manager.

Construction begins this month
Share Construction begins this month on Facebook Share Construction begins this month on Twitter Share Construction begins this month on Linkedin Email Construction begins this month linkWe know it’s been some time since we’ve been in contact. We wanted to reconnect with you to see if you have any feedback, concerns or questions. If you’re curious about the construction work, we’re doing, or what work is happening next, we can answer your questions.
The construction inspector is the first person to contact on site. If you require special access to your property for moving, or are waiting for a special delivery, give the inspector enough notice so your request can be accommodated, if possible.
We know the work during a reconstruction project is an inconvenience for you to get to your property. Please let us know if you need more temporary parking passes. We hope your waste is collected on the regular day as normal, and that you’ve been able to place your waste by the curbside by 7 a.m. The contractor should be relocating your waste as required and returning any containers belonging to you in a timely fashion. If there are any issues, please let us know.
Starting last week, J Weber Contracting began the next phase of the Sherwood Ave reconstruction project. Initially the work will begin between Krug St and Becker St and will eventually progress to Islington Ave later in the year. Over the next couple of weeks residents may notice intermittent interruptions to water service as a temporary watermain bypass is installed. Currently the entire project is scheduled for completion in November of this year.
We’re happy to meet with you, or discuss by phone, any concerns or questions that you may have. Please do not hesitate to contact the city’s project manager Eric Costa at eric.costa@kitchener.ca or 519-741-2200 ext. 7414.

The contractor will now be required to provide ongoing maintenance, including watering of the sodded areas until May 30, 2024, (notwithstanding a suspension of this requirement during a winter dormant period of Nov 15th to April 15th inclusive). After which time, it is the property owner’s responsibility to continue the watering and maintenance as required.
The city will inspect the condition of the newly sodded area just prior to the date noted above, and the contractor will be required to replace any identified deteriorated sod. After this inspection and the replacement of any deteriorated sod, the care and maintenance of the sod will become the homeowner’s responsibility.
Occasionally, after construction, depression trench settlement may occur, meaning the soil over the area that was dug up had settled. This may occur in the sodded areas or elsewhere on this project and is covered under the two-year warranty period. Please note, new sod can may take up to two years to fully root and establish itself. The weather, sun exposure can impact how well young sod takes root. We encourage property owners to continue periodic watering (adhering to the Region of Waterloo water-use bylaw, found at www.regionofwaterloo.ca/conservation), and care and maintenance after the end of the sod warranty.

Contractor Introduction, Parking and Pre-condition Inspection
Share Contractor Introduction, Parking and Pre-condition Inspection on Facebook Share Contractor Introduction, Parking and Pre-condition Inspection on Twitter Share Contractor Introduction, Parking and Pre-condition Inspection on Linkedin Email Contractor Introduction, Parking and Pre-condition Inspection linkThe City of Kitchener has awarded J Weber Contracting Limited the contract for reconstruction work on Sherwood Avenue (Rosemount Drive to Becker Street), Islington Avenue (Rosemount Drive to Sherwood Avenue) and Rosemount Drive (Islington Avenue to Sherwood Avenue) Road is scheduled to start on/or about April 10, 2023 with an anticipated completion on/or about October 30, 2024.
The City of Kitchener has retained an Engineering Consultant to act as Project Manager for this project and they should be your first point of contact should you have any questions, concerns or require special access to your residence during construction. Their contact information can be found in the contact list provided at the end of this letter. However, as the City Project Manager I remain a key point of contact; my contact information has been provided in the contact list. A Construction Inspector will be on site daily while the contractor is working. Should you have any questions or concerns while the work is in progress, the Construction Inspector can be identified by the white hardhat and can be approached at any time or contacted using the number provided in the contact list. Should you experience an after-hours emergency, please contact the 24-hour Contact Centre at 519-741-2345.
The Contractor will start the project with the setup of their temporary watermain and by completing the pre-condition survey.
Pre-Condition Inspection of Structures
On heavy construction projects, it is the City of Kitchener’s standard practice to offer to inspect any buildings that might be affected by construction activities before construction starts. If during or after construction residents/tenants experience any concerns with their property, the information from the pre-construction inspection will prove very helpful in quickly and accurately resolving any claims, should they arise.
The pre-condition inspection will be conducted by OZA Inspections and if they haven’t already, they will be contacting you within the next few days to arrange for this survey. This assessment includes an inspection of the interior and exterior of each property to document the existing condition prior to construction. In large high-rise apartment buildings, the ground floor area will be inspected, but the individual apartment units above will not be inspected.
We appreciate that some tenants/residents may not want a pre-condition inspection of their home and we would like to stress that you are under no obligation to do so. Should this be the case, please advise the representative when they call. Please be advised if the survey is declined and you request it at a later date, the re-mobilization cost will be the responsibility of the homeowner.
You will likely feel some vibrations during the routine operation of construction equipment; however, studies have shown that these vibrations are much less severe than the vibration level likely to cause structural damage. We do recommend that you remove light, fragile or delicate objects from shelves when construction activity is taking place adjacent to your property.
Should you experience any problems during construction, please contact me immediately and I’ll address or direct your concern to the contractor if needed. If immediate action is needed, such as an issue with your services and City Staff or Representatives are not immediately available, you are welcome to contact the contractor directly.
Should situations arise during or after this construction project, the following contact information and telephone numbers are provided for your convenience.
On Street Parking
During reconstruction, temporary parking permits will be issued to displaced residents to allow on-street parking when needed. The permits will list streets for parking options as you will be permitted to park longer than 3 hours and overnight. Permits are to be displayed on the dash of your vehicle. Ensure that your vehicle is parked in permitted areas only and that you do not interfere with any construction operations. We communicate with the Bylaw Enforcement team to ensure residents displaced by construction are noted, although illegal parking and/or safety related issues will continue to be enforced.
