As part of the City of Waterloo’s asset management and road rehabilitation programs, we'll be improving the road, watermain and sewer system on Teakwood Drive from Glen Forrest Boulevard to Thorncrest Drive, Teakwood Place from Teakwood Drive to the cul-de-sac, and Thorncrest Drive from west of Teakwood Drive to Glen Forrest Boulevard. Construction is tentatively scheduled from April 2023 to November 2023, subject to all technical and financial approvals.
The planned improvements for Teakwood Drive, Teakwood Place, and Thorncrest Drive are:
Replace the existing sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and watermain to meet current capacity requirements and design standards.
Replace the existing sanitary and water service laterals to each property from the new mains to the property line.
Replace the existing asphalt with a new 7.0 metre wide paved roadway and install new concrete curb and gutter and replace all existing sidewalks with new 1.8 metre wide concrete sidewalk.
Replace all existing driveway ramp entrances within the municipal right-of-way to conform to current city standards.
Restoration of disturbed areas with topsoil and sod.
We want to make sure that anyone affected or interested in this work can easily stay informed about the work being done, and how it may affect them. We want you to let us know if you have any special requirements or have experienced any issues in the past that we may be able to address as a part of this project. This includes things like basement flooding, special driveway access requirements during the construction phase, information on your existing house services, or anything else you think we might need to know, particularly if you have special needs regarding access for mobility issues. If there is something that will help us reduce impact to you during our project, please let us know! We are listening.
