Public meeting 2
Notice of Construction and Public Information Meeting 2
The City of Waterloo will be holding a Public Information Centre (PIC) to provide information for local residents regarding the planned reconstruction of Moore Avenue in 2024. Meeting details:
Date: Tuesday, April 30, 2024
Time: 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Place: Elizabeth Zeigler School – Gymnasium
90 Moore Avenue S., Waterloo
This second PIC will be attended by the City’s engineering consultant, GM Blueplan, the contractor hired for this project, Network Sewer and Watermain (Network), and representatives from the City to answer questions.
The purpose of the PIC is to allow residents to view the final designs and ask questions about the construction process. If you have not already done so, please contact the City’s project manager regarding any mobility or medical challenges you may have to ensure that accommodations can be made. Without this information, decisions may be made during construction that favour expediency over access, based on the assumption that special accommodations are not needed.
Construction is anticipated to commence on or about May 1. Updates during construction may be posted on Engage Waterloo at various intervals or prior to key events. Please ensure you are signed up to receive updates from Engage Waterloo when posted.
Prior to the start of construction you will be contacted by a company retained by Network to conduct a pre-construction condition assessment of your property. This survey will include visual inspection and photography of various interior and exterior features of your home to determine pre-construction conditions in the unlikely event that damage is caused during construction. Please contact the inspection company as soon as possible to schedule an inspection as the timing window is small.
Once construction starts, the typical work hours will be 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. During the initial days of construction, residents may have roadway access when the contractor is not working directly in front of your driveway. Once the initial setup work is complete the contractor will remove the roadway asphalt and curbs and begin replacing underground infrastructure. During working hours and occasionally overnight, the roadway will be closed and residents will need to park their vehicles on nearby streets. Overnight access restrictions are more prevalent near the end of construction when new curb, sidewalk and driveway aprons (bottom section) are installed due to the drying time needed for concrete. Residents will be provided with two parking passes per household. The parking pass allows for parking on nearby streets for longer than 3 hours or overnight. All other parking rules still apply. For more information on parking rules please refer to the City’s Traffic and Parking bylaw on the City’s website:

Should you have any questions or concerns regarding this project and cannot attend the PIC, please contact the City’s Project Manager.
