Phase 2 Construction Update – Addressing Deficiencies

Please note that the contractor will be returning to Herbert Street midday on Monday November 6, 2023 for up to two weeks to address deficiencies. Work will start midday on the Nov. 6 in order to allow City staff to complete curbside leaf pickup in advance. Please have leaves raked to the curb for collection first thing in the morning on Monday, November 6, 2023.

Deficiencies are a normal part of construction, with software packages and professional guidance documents on the subject. Addressing deficiencies typically involves less invasive amounts of construction with specific items being targeted in specific locations at a time. The roadway will be more accessible during construction hours than during previous construction, but still may require some movement of vehicles to adjacent streets for short periods to avoid being blocked in, or to avoid the movement of construction vehicles.

Following the remediation of deficiencies, residents shouldn’t expect any further construction until surface asphalt is placed in 2024, a process that is also minimally invasive but may still require some coordination with the contractor.
