2019 Projects Update
Second Avenue - Asphalt Overlay
The 2019 Asphalt Overlay Project consists of grinding out 60mm of Asphalt on the existing road and replacing it with 60mm of new asphalt, from Lowe Street to Ogilvie Street on Second Avenue. Permanent Crosswalk Markings will be applied to the new pavement as well as painting the lanes to their former configuration.
Traffic will be limited to a single lane in each direction during construction. Please reduce speed, obey signage and obey traffic control persons during Construction.
Work is expected to take place between July 7th and August 15th.
Wheeler Street and 6th Avenue - Landscaping
Landscaping along 6th Avenue and Wheeler Street is planned for the summer of 2019 following the deep utility and surface works reconstruction that took place over the last two years. Various shrubs and trees will be planted in the boulevards similar to the recent work on Ogilvie Street and Black Street.
The work will occur along 6th Avenue between Ogilvie Street and Jarvis Street and on Wheeler Street between 4th Avenue and 6th Avenue. Please slow down and obey construction signage on sidewalks, bike lanes and vehicle lanes.
The scheduled completion date is July 31, 2019.
