Public Information and Questionnaire
As part of the City of Kitchener’s ongoing efforts to provide consistent and reliable service, we have scheduled road and sewer improvements in your neighbourhood on the street(s) listed above.
These improvements are scheduled to begin, around, April 8, 2024, with an estimated completion date on or around November 28, 2025. You will be notified closer to the date construction is scheduled to start on your section of the street, as well as how long access to your driveway will be affected.
Answer our questionnaire(s)
In order to help us address any specific issues or considerations, we ask that you please complete the Resident/Owner Questionnaire. If you have any plans to redevelop your property (severance, additional units, etc.), please let us know so that we can coordinate any proposed changes with the new roadwork.
For homeowners that live within the project limits and are interested in connecting private storm drains that accept sump pump discharge please also complete the Storm Service Survey.
Both surveys can also be found under the “Survey” tab on the project page.
About the improvements
The specific improvements scheduled for this street are:
- Upgrade the existing storm sewer, sanitary sewer and water mains, including additional hydrants 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.
- Replace all driveway ramp entrances in concrete.
- Replace existing on-road cycle lanes with protected cycle tracks
- Replace existing on-road parking lanes with protected parking lanes
- Changes to on-road parking at Kingsdale Community Centre
These improvements will 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.
Please look at the presentation materials outlining the details of this project.
How you will be affected
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.
Before construction starts, an inspection of homes and businesses will be undertaken to determine the condition of buildings in the construction area. The selected consulting firm will contact you directly to arrange for a voluntary inspection of the exterior and interior of your building. This inspection is done to protect the property owner.
You can find more information on how you may be affected by a road reconstruction in the information package.
Who to contact
Throughout this project, staff and consultants will also be available to discuss details of the proposed improvements to this street and answer any questions about the project and how it may impact you.
If you or someone you know are unable to access the information online, please contact Engineering at 519-741-2406. Give your name and address including postal code and both questionnaires and the information package will be mailed out along with a return envelope.
