Letter to Residents

During the next few weeks, you may observe surveyors undertaking a detailed field survey in your neighborhood. The survey is being completed in preparation for the reconstruction in your neighbourhood.

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 IBI Group 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 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.
• Addition of cycling infrastructure.

It is anticipated that construction will occur in the spring of 2022.
