Church Street Drainage Improvements

Based on community feedback, the City has undertaken a storm water management study and engineering design to improve existing drainage on the east side of Church Street, between Major Mackenzie Drive East and Roseview Avenue.

The proposed work includes raising the elevation of the east boulevard within the City Right of Way to contain the storm flows within the street. Construction will include grading, new topsoil and sod, new concrete sidewalk and new asphalt within affected driveway limits. The driveway limits will extend a few metres within private property to achieve a favourable slope. Pending budget approval, construction is proposed for 2021.

• Church Street Engineering Plan 1
• Church Street Engineering Plan 2
• Church Street Engineering Plan 3 - typical cross section at driveways and boulevards

Feedback on the proposed design will be accepted until August 28, 2020.

Powell Street and Wright Street Reconstruction

Powell Street and Wright Street from Mill Street to Hall Street are proposed to be reconstructed to urban standards with new asphalt pavement, curbs, gutters and storm sewers. The existing sidewalk will be reconstructed and extended. The existing road illumination will also be upgraded. In addition to the road improvements, the existing watermain will be entirely replaced and sections of the existing sanitary sewers will be replaced due to age and condition. The length of the road reconstruction is approximately 345 metres. The construction will commence in October 2020 and be substantially completed by end of Summer 2021.
