Letter to Residents
As part of the City of Kitchener’s ongoing efforts to provide exceptional service, staff has scheduled road and sewer improvements in your neighbourhood on the street(s) listed above.
These improvements are scheduled to begin, on or about, May 2022, with an estimated completion date on or about November 2022. You will be notified closer to the date construction is scheduled to start on your section of the street, and also how long access to your driveway will be affected.
The specific improvements scheduled for this street are:
- Upgrade the existing storm sewer, sanitary sewer and water mains.
- Replace existing sanitary and water services from the new mains to the property line.
- Curb and gutter, and sidewalk on one side will be installed.
- Upgrade the asphalt roadway.
- Replace all driveway ramp entrances
These improvements are being done to upgrade the existing, deteriorated underground services and above-ground surface features, in order to prevent future system failure. The project will be funded through utility user fees and will not result in a direct charge to the homeowner.
In order to carry out these improvements, it will be necessary to close this street to through traffic. Prior to any road closure, signs will be posted on the approaching streets advising motorists of the date and the duration of the closure.
Pedestrian access will be maintained to all properties at all times and vehicular access to all properties within the construction area will be maintained for as long as possible. On-street parking permits, which will allow parking on adjacent side streets, will be hand-delivered to affected homes before vehicular access is cut off.
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
