Map of project limits


As part of the City of Kitchener’s ongoing efforts to provide exceptional service, staff has scheduled road and sewer improvements in your neighbourhood.

These improvements are scheduled to begin, spring of 2025, with an estimated completion date of fall 2025.

The following is a brief list of the improvements being considered:

    • Upgrade the existing storm sewer, sanitary sewer and water mains, including additional hydrants as required.
    • Replace existing sanitary and water services from the new mains to the property line.
    • Curb and gutter, and sidewalks will be installed.
    • Upgrade the asphalt roadway.
    • Replace all driveway ramp entrances in concrete.
    • Install and/or replace retaining walls.

These improvements are being done to upgrade the existing, deteriorated underground services and above-ground surface features, in order to prevent future system failure. The project will be funded through utility user fees and will not result in a direct charge to the homeowner.

As more information becomes available, we will post it to this page. Subscribe to get email notification of project updates by using the Stay Informed 'Subscribe' button above.

    We have extended the deadline for the Resident/Owner Questionnaire to allow more residents the chance to share their comments with us to inform the design of the construction. Help us take your needs into consideration when planning the road reconstruction.

    We would like to hear from you about:

    • Any issues you had in the past with sewer backups, flooding, or water pressure
    • What we might need to know about you before we begin construction
    • If you have any plans to redevelop your property (example: severance, additional units)
    • Your interest in having a private storm drain connection installed


    Please take a few minutes to answer our Resident/Owner Questionnaire.

    The questionnaire closes Sept. 16, 2024.

    Answer the questionnaire

    We'd like to hear from residents living on Chapel Street, Melrose Avenue or Sheridan Court. Tell us about how you may be affected by construction so we can understand and address any specific issues or considerations. If you live within the project limits and are interested in connecting private storm drains that accept sump pump discharge, you will also be prompted to complete the Storm Service Survey on the last page of the questionnaire.

    If you or someone within the project limits would prefer a paper version of the questionnaire, please contact the Engineering division at engineering@kitchener.ca or 519-741-2345.

    The questionnaire closes July 14, 2024.

    During the next few weeks, you may observe surveyors undertaking a detailed field survey in your neighbourhood. The survey is being completed in preparation for the reconstruction of the street(s) listed above.

    In order to gather the required details the survey will include the frontage of your property as well as the street. The purpose of this survey is to locate all existing features (trees, gardens, steps and walkways, etc.) on the plans for preliminary study and final design.

    The surveyors should not interfere with your regular activities, but will identify themselves if you have any questions.

    The reconstruction is being done to replace the older, deteriorated underground services.

    The following is a brief list of specific improvements being considered:

    • Upgrade the existing storm sewer, sanitary sewer and water mains, including additional hydrants as required.
    • Replace existing sanitary and water services from the new mains to the property line.
    • Curb and gutter, and sidewalks will be installed.
    • Upgrade the asphalt roadway.
    • Replace all driveway ramp entrances in concrete.
    • Install and/or replace retaining walls.

    A public open house will be scheduled for all members of the public including owners and residents that will be directly affected by the proposed improvements. Staff and consultants will be available to discuss details of the proposed improvements to this street, and answer any questions about the project and how it may impact you.

    It is anticipated that construction will occur in the spring of 2025.
