Project Location
Jordan Village (Main, Nineteenth, Twenty-First, Wismer and King Streets)
Project Update
Construction activities will begin the week of April 1, 2024 by the contractor, Trenchline & Roads Inc., starting at the intersection of Nineteenth Street and Snure Lane. Project signboards will be installed to highlight the critical aspects of the project and notify passing vehicles that businesses will remain open during construction.
Schedule
Please see the attached Map of Phases to summarize the construction schedule. This project is being completed in phases to reduce the impact on businesses and residents.
- April 2024 to May 2024 | Snure Lane, 21st and Main Street Cross Walk Installation
- May 2024 to June 2024 | 19th Street from Snure Lane to King Street
- June 2024 to August 2024 | King Street Intersection (from east of 19th to west of Main)
These dates are tentative and may be subject to change as construction progresses; however, residents will be kept updated on any schedule changes throughout the project. Speak Up Lincoln will have an updated schedule as the project progresses, and detours will be posted prior to any closures. During these construction phases, expect minimal access to these areas and roads closed. Residents will continue to have access to driveways at the end of each day and coordinated by the contractor in advance of the work.
What to Expect Next
Construction Signs
Signs, traffic cones and detour signage will be placed before construction starts. Before any detours, the Town will distribute notices to residents and businesses in the construction area. We will also send out information to the broader community via social media and post it to the project website.
Crosswalk Construction (Snure Lane, 21st Street and Main Street)
Construction activities are planned to start the week of April 2, 2024, beginning at Snure Lane, Main Street and 21st Street to complete the installation of the pedestrian crosswalks. This work must take place before continuing with construction of Phase 5 on Nineteenth Street/King Street.
King Street Intersection Signalization and Nineteenth Street Reconstruction
Construction activities will continue on Nineteenth Street, south of Snure Lane to the intersection of King Street. Work includes removing existing roadway features, trenching for new water and sewer mains, and installing new roadway curbs, driveways, on-street parking bays, cycle tracks, and sidewalks. In coordination with the Niagara Region, the King Street intersection will be widened and signalized with formal pedestrian crossings. Additionally, a sidewalk will be constructed on the south side of King Street connecting the intersection to St. John’s Drive.
Please note the final layer of asphalt is planned to be placed throughout Jordan toward the end of the project. This is typical for new construction to allow for minor settlements of the base asphalt and deficiency corrections.
Outstanding Work and Deficiency Tracking
We aim to achieve a high standard of quality for all our construction projects. Like any large-scale work, there will likely be a list of deficiencies that need to be addressed before the project is considered complete. Additionally, completed construction work is under a one-year warranty period. Deficiencies such as inadequate workmanship or landscaping issues will be assessed by the construction inspector according to design specifications. Any confirmed deficiencies will be rectified by the contractor. Additionally, before the warranty period expires, the project team will conduct a final walkthrough to identify any remaining issues to be addressed. If you spot something that concerns you, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. There is a good chance we have already added it to our list of deficiencies for the contractor to address, but we welcome your input in identifying specific issues. Please reach out to either the Site Inspector or Project Manager to ensure your concerns are included in our tracking system.
Garbage Pickup Impacts
Garbage pick-up will be as generally scheduled for property owners during construction. If required, thecontractor will carry recycling and garbage bins to a more accessible pickup location and then return your containers once emptied. The Town asks that property owners please label their garbage bins with their address before construction. Containers that are not labelled may be misplaced during this process. Unmarked bins will be marked with spray paint by the contractor.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the hours of work for the contractor?
The contractor is limited to working between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., Monday to Friday, unless special circumstances require night work. If you have concerns about work occurring outside these hours, please contact the Site Inspector or Project Manager for clarification.
How will my garbage pickup be impacted during construction?
Garbage pick-up will generally proceed as scheduled during construction. If necessary, the contractor will relocate recycling and garbage bins to an accessible pickup location and return them once emptied. To avoid any mix-up, we request property owners to label their bins with their address before construction begins. Unlabeled bins may be marked with spray paint by the contractor to prevent misplacement.
How will dust and dirt be controlled during construction?
While construction is active, we expect a certain degree of dust and dirt. We have planned for this and have included provisions for dust control and street sweeping activities to minimize disturbances. In addition, we will work with our contractor to maintain the working area in a neat and organized fashion outside of working hours. We appreciate the community’s patience with any disruptions as we work to revitalize the area.
Will I have access to my home or businesses during construction?
Access to homes and businesses will generally be maintained throughout the construction period. However, there might be short instances when driveways are temporarily blocked by equipment or ongoing work. If you find your driveway blocked, you can speak to the on-site construction staff for immediate assistance. If staff are not available and you have access concerns, please contact the Site Inspector or Project Manager. For urgent issues after hours, you can reach our 24-hour public works line at 905-641-0971. There will be a short period toward the end of construction when curbs and sidewalks are being installed where driveway access will be restricted for a period. In such cases, the contractor will notify property owners a minimum of 48 hours in advance by letter including the dates of the installation. For people requiring special accommodation for a disability, please contact the Site Inspector or Project Manager.
Will I be able to walk through the construction site?
While the site is active for construction, pedestrian access will generally be accommodated. However, we strongly recommend against walking through the site for non-essential reasons. When navigating the construction area, please exercise caution: adhere to warning signs, steer clear of heavy machinery, and maintain visibility with construction workers and vehicles at all times.
Will there be any trees removed as part of this project?
While we have made efforts to maintain existing trees as much as possible through the design process, existing trees that have been identified for removal will be marked with a red “X” by a certified arborist. These trees will be inspected for nests during the nesting season, and identified nests will be safely relocated if required. During construction, tree protection fencing will be installed at critical locations to protect existing trees and roots. The Jordan Village improvement project includes an extensive tree planting and landscaping plan. The project involves planting over 150 new trees and a wide variety of shrubs, perennials, grasses, and vines. If you have concerns regarding trees identified for removal, please get in touch with the Project Manager.
Will there be any service interruptions to my water or power?
While we aim to minimize disruptions, short-term service interruptions may occur as we connect properties to new services. You will receive at least a 48-hour notice prior to any planned interruptions to your power or water supply. Should you experience any unexpected interruptions, please contact the Site Inspector or Project Manager. For urgent issues outside regular working hours, our 24-hour Public Works line is available at 905-641-0971.
What are the paint markings and flags placed around the site?
A necessary part of the construction process is getting locates for all the underground utilities and infrastructure; the law also requires it. Part of this process involves owners of the utilities placing paint and mini flags; however, homeowners and businesses do not need to maintain these markings, as a paper/electronic copy is available to the contractor. Test pits will also be performed to verify the location of utilities at critical crossings. This process minimizes the potential for any damage to existing utilities and infrastructure during the construction phase.
