Jordan Village Improvement Project Re: Sump Pump Plumbing and Outlet Modifications

Dear resident:

As part of the Jordan Village Improvement Project, all roadside ditches will be eliminated along Main and Nineteenth Streets and replaced with curb, gutter, and storm sewer. As such, all residents with a sump pump outlet that discharges to the existing ditch will need to alter their plumbing to ensure that their sump pumps will discharge to grade as per the Town standard on the reverse side of this notice.

Considering the Town’s project has prompted residents to complete this work, the Town is offering to reimburse residents up to $500.00 for the cost of plumbing modifications.

To qualify for expense reimbursement, the sump pump plumbing must be rerouted over the foundation wall, with a breather and splash pad installed per the Town’s standard provided by May 2nd, 2022. Once the work is completed, residents can schedule an exterior inspection and submit their receipts. Provided the plumbing inspection is successful, the Town will send payment by cheque within four weeks of your completed inspection.

Please note residents can find qualified plumbers Niagara Construction Association at niagaraconstruction.org for a list of qualified local plumbers who can complete this work or any local licensed plumber.

If you have any questions or would like to schedule a site meeting to review your sump pump situation further, please get in touch with Michael Gacnik at 905-933-8962 or mgacnik@lincoln.ca.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Jordan Village Improvement Project

Project location: Jordan Village (Main, Nineteenth, Twenty-First, Wismer and King Streets)

PROJECT UPDATE

On September 29, 2021 the Town of Lincoln Council awarded the Jordan Village Improvement Project to Trenchline & Roads Inc - officially kicking off this exciting project! Residents and businesses can expect to see project mobilization activities starting in the next few weeks. There are extensive requirements before the actual work starts, and further communication will be forthcoming including tentative construction schedule and pre-construction surveys.

The Town of Lincoln is excited for this transformational project to kick off and fulfill the vision for Jordan Village, to become an even more vibrant and connected part of the community and a premier tourist destination.

Cost savings were found to ensure affordability without compromising the vision of the project. Some of the key features you will still see in this project include:

- original design of plaza and monument;

- boulevard pavers for the full length of Main Street;

- decorative crosswalks and plantings throughout the project; and

- pedestrian/cyclist facilities along Nineteenth Street.

WHAT TO EXPECT NEXT

Utility Locates

A necessary part of the construction process is getting locates for all the underground utilities and infrastructure; it is also required under the law. 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 are available to the contractor.

This process minimizes the potential for any damage to existing utilities and infrastructure during the construction phase.

Test-pits will also be performed to verify the location of utilities at key crossings.

Pre-Construction Surveys of Buildings A Pre-Construction Survey (PCS) consists of a review of a property adjacent to a site where construction activities are about to begin. The goal of the survey is to visually identify all existing signs of interior and exterior damage; they also identify signs of structural settlement before construction begins. A PCS can protect the property/business owner and the contractor of the site where construction activities will take place. Next step: As we get closer to construction, the contractor’s designate, Wristen’s Home Specialties (WHS), will be reaching out to set up an inspection of your property. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the option is available to have an exterior-only inspection performed. Please note that the information gathered stays with the third party and the contractor, and the Town of Lincoln does not have access to any information unless a claim is filed to protect your privacy.

Surveys

You might see survey crews verifying property limits and confirming layouts over the next few weeks.

Mobilization

Signs, traffic cones and detour signage will start to be placed before construction starts. Prior to any detours, the Town will distribute notices to residents and business in the construction area. We will also send out information to the broader community via social media and posting to the project website.

CONTACT INFORMATION

The Town of Lincoln would like to thank all affected residents and businesses for their patience and cooperation during the design stage and underground hydro conversion works.

The new facility located in the village of Jordan was designed to properly house the artifacts and exhibits that showcase Lincoln’s uniqueness within the region of Niagara. The Museum was funded by both public funds and private contributions from businesses and individuals. This project was funded in part by the Government of Canada through Canadian Heritage's Canada Cultural Spaces Fund.
