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.
