The phases of construction are planned as following:

5th Street Area:
The entire length of 5th Street from the Community Centre to Mackenzie Ave will be closed to traffic for approximately one to two weeks. Locals have been notified directly by the contractor regarding access and parking within the lanes.

Mackenzie Avenue from 5th to 6th:
Routing the water line through the intersection of 5th and Mackenzie will close the intersection to traffic coming from the high school towards the downtown core. This traffic will be detoured at 6th to Orton and back to Mackenzie at 4th. Traffic leaving the downtown core heading towards the high school will travel through the construction zone on Mackenzie Avenue. There may be parking available on the Community Centre side of Mackenzie for the residents. We are suggesting that this disruption will be for approximately one to two weeks.

Traffic will be separated from the open trench by barricades on centerline and the excavated material.

Community Centre East Parking Lot:
The entire parking lot for the seniors will be disrupted for a 2-week period commencing November 1. During this approximately one to two week period the eastern access door will be closed for one day and access for this day will be via the western access door (6th Street). Access to the eastern door will be constructed to provide Senior Friendly access of the balance of the construction timeframe.

Due to the time of the year and the possibility of encountering unexpected underground utilities, we have developed a conservative time estimate. We are considering two options when restoring the existing asphalt surface; our first choice is hot mix asphalt, but supply of this product is uncertain, the other option is using cold mix until hot asphalt becomes available in the spring.

Yours truly,
