Lorne Avenue - Construction Corner Update #7 - Week of November 29, 2021

As a resident of Lorne Avenue, you have been receiving regular notices from the Town of Newmarket concerning the reconstruction project in your area and we’d like to take this time to thank you for your patience and support throughout this time, please accept our sincere gratitude and our wish for a wonderful and safe holiday season.

Over the past two weeks:

• All sidewalks and curbs were completed from Eagle Street to Timothy Street.

• The base layer of asphalt was completed within Phase One.

• The road was re-opened and detour signage removed.

Over the next two weeks:

• The contractor will temporarily reinstate the existing street signage (all signage will be replaced as part of Phase 2)

• Asphalt driveways will be restored temporarily and interlock driveways will be restored permanently for resident access.

• All new curbs and sidewalks will be backfilled with soil to make them safe for the winter.

• Regular recycling and garbage pickup will return to normal curbside pickup by GFL.

• Testing of the new storm and sanitary sewers will be conducted to insure integrity of the system.

Please note that the project is anticipated to be made safe for the winter in the next two weeks. Phase 2 construction of the project will resume in the spring of 2022. Local access for pedestrians and emergency vehicles continues to be maintained at all times.

Information on this project is being communicated through these updates and by your Construction Liaison Committee representatives. Temporary signage and lane lines will be in place to ensure safe traffic flow in the area.

We value your feedback on these updates and we appreciate your patience while we proceed with this reconstruction project. Please contact us at 905-895-5193 to provide your thoughts.
