Construction begins this month

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.

The construction 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.

Starting last week, J Weber Contracting began the next phase of the Sherwood Ave reconstruction project. Initially the work will begin between Krug St and Becker St and will eventually progress to Islington Ave later in the year. Over the next couple of weeks residents may notice intermittent interruptions to water service as a temporary watermain bypass is installed. Currently the entire project is scheduled for completion in November of this year.

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 Eric Costa at eric.costa@kitchener.ca or 519-741-2200 ext. 7414.
