How will Construction Impact You?
For those living in or travelling through the construction area:
- Street Access and Parking: Localized road closures are expected during construction only allowing local traffic to access their properties. A detour route will be in effect during construction with the appropriate signage to direct traffic.
- Vibration & Dust - Protect Valuables: Construction equipment can cause vibrations and dust. Please ensure you protect any valuables susceptible to damage, the contractor will monitor dust conditions and apply dust suppressants as required to minimize dust due to construction.
- Mail Services: Canada post will continue to deliver mail during construction. Canada Post will provide further notification and instructions for residents that may be impacted. Staff will provide temporary mailboxes that are temporarily removed or impacted due to construction.
- Garbage and Recycling Collection: If your pick-up point is temporarily blocked by construction the contractor will assist in collecting and transporting your garbage and recycling.
- Manicured Lawns: The contractor will restore all damaged manicured lawns resulting from the construction project. A mixture of seed and water will be applied by the Municipality to such affected locations. We encourage you to assist in the watering process.
- Sprinklers, Flower Beds, Invisible Fences, and Private Infrastructure: Residents are encouraged to remove any private infrastructure and items that may be inadvertently located in the municipal right of way. The contractor will not be responsible for or repair any private infrastructure damaged or removed as a result of this work.
