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

These improvements are scheduled to begin, spring of 2026, with an estimated completion date of fall 2026; subject to Council budget approval in early 2026. Once a schedule for construction has been confirmed you will be notified. You will also be notified closer to the date construction is scheduled to start on your section of the street, and also how long access to your driveway will be affected.

The specific improvements scheduled for this street are:

  • Upgrade the existing storm sewer, sanitary sewer and water mains, including additional hydrants.
  • Replace existing sanitary and water services from the new mains to the property line.
  • Curb and gutter, and sidewalks will be replaced.
  • 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.

    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.

    As is common with many city reconstruction projects, the service of a consulting engineering firm has been arranged to work with City of Kitchener staff. The firm of AECOM Canada Ltd. has been selected for this project.

    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 replaced.
    • Upgrade the asphalt roadway.
    • Replace all driveway ramp entrances in concrete.
    • Install and/or replace retaining walls.


    It is anticipated that construction will occur in the spring of 2026.
