Lorne Avenue - Construction Corner Update - Week of July 4, 2022

As a resident of Lorne Avenue, you have been receiving regular ‘Construction Corner’ notices from the Town of Newmarket to keep you updated on the reconstruction project in your area.

We hope you had a wonderful Canada Day long weekend. We are expecting a busy summer construction season, with the Contractor currently mobilized to complete underground infrastructure north of Millard, and about to initiate the building of the road, curbs and sidewalks between Millard and Timothy. The town will continue to keep you informed through these Construction Corners and through the Resident Ambassadors e-mail updates.

Over the past few weeks:

• Successful testing of the watermain between Timothy Street and Millard Avenue has been completed and we can confirm that the water meets all quality requirements as per the stringent standards of the Province of Ontario. The contractor is initiating the work to connect each home in this area to the new watermain.

• The sanitary main sewer line from Woodland Court to Millard Avenue has been installed.

• The storm sewer mainline from south of Calgain Street intersection to Queen Street was also installed.

Over the next two weeks:

• The storm sewer will be completed from the Calgain Street intersection to the Millard Avenue intersection (weather dependent).

• Excavation, removal and re-building of the existing road from Millard Avenue to Timothy Street will be initiated.

The Town and the Contractor will maintain local and emergency access during the remainder of the construction on Lorne Avenue. Please continue to follow instructions from the flag persons on site for the safety of the pedestrians, workers and motorists. We appreciate your patience during the rest of our work this year.

As a friendly reminder, please note that neither the Town nor our contractors will go door-to-door to offer any paving or resurfacing services on the private side of the lot line.

We value your feedback on these updates. Please contact us at 905-895-5193 to provide your thoughts.
