2024 Projects and Updates (Construction and Design)
Mount Albert Storm Outfalls, Retaining Wall and Trail Design |
|
Project Background: This storm outfall and retaining wall project is in the community of Mount Albert, adjacent to Vivian Creek Park. There are four storm outfalls and one span of retaining wall in need of repair. Town staff have investigated and continue to monitor the condition of the outfalls, although they require repair, the current state is stable and interim holding repairs will be completed (if necessary) until construction takes place. Similarly, the slope behind 13 and 15 Valley Mills Road was also inspected, monitored, and deemed stable.

The memo was presented to Committee of the Whole on July 25, 2023, to view the Agenda, please visit the Council meeting portal.

Community UpdatesQueensville - Microsurfacing scheduled for late September/ early October. Holland Landing - Microsurfacing scheduled for late September/ early October. Mount Albert - Microsurfacing completed, pending road sweeping and stop bar painting. Sharon - Microsurfacing 80% completed, pending road sweeping and stop bar painting.
What is micro-surfacing?It is a versatile and efficient solution for maintaining and improving road quality, ensuring a smooth and durable surface for drivers. Micro-surfacing extends the life of the road surface, saves future construction costs, and has less impact on the environment than other road treatment options. Residents may experience temporary road and lane closures during work and are asked to limit parking on the above roads to assist crews. Residents may initially experience road roughness and loose fine stones prior to road sweeping. Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we complete this important road work.
