Franklin Street South reconnection Letter
We know it’s been some time since we’ve been in contact. We wanted to reconnect with you to see if you have any feedback, concerns or questions. If you’re curious about the construction work we’re doing, or what work is happening next, we can answer your questions.
Our Engineering Consultant construction inspector, Matt Stone wears a white hard helmet and is on site full-time. The inspector is the first person to contact on site. If you require special access to your property for moving, or are waiting for a special delivery, give the inspector enough notice so your request can be accommodated, if possible.
We know the work during a reconstruction project is an inconvenience for you to get to your property. Please let us know if you need more temporary parking passes. We hope your waste is collected on the regular day as normal, and that you’ve been able to place your waste by the curbside by 7 a.m. The contractor should be relocating your waste as required and returning any containers belonging to you in a timely fashion. If there are any issues, please let us know.
J Weber Contracting have the restored boulevards and private side of sidewalk with topsoil within construction limits between Connaught Street and Kingsway Avenue prior to winter shutdown in order to keep site in safe conditions. In spring, J Weber Contracting will clean up the topsoil and place sod and complete the planting of trees.
We’re happy to meet with you, or discuss by phone, any concerns or questions that you may have. Please do not hesitate to contact the city’s project manager by phone at 519-741-2200 ext. 7132. or by email at licinio.costa@kitchener.ca.
If you would like to receive updates for this project as they become available, please subscribe and you will be added to the email list for updates on this project.
Sincerely,
Licinio Costa, C.E.T.

The construction is now complete, and the project has entered the maintenance phase. This means we will inspect all aspects of the work done to ensure that it meets our standards. We will also address any deficiencies. Once this phase is complete, we will add a final layer of surface asphalt. This is usually about two years from the start of maintenance. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at 519-741-2345 or engineering@kitchener.ca
