    lance wiebe asked 6 months ago

    Hi Lance and Judy,

    Thank you for your observation and feedback about the bike racks. The Town prioritizes active transportation and is actively working on securing more bike racks through our Jordan Village Public Realm Donation Program.

    This program allows both businesses and residents to contribute street furniture, including bike racks and benches, to the newly renovated Jordan Village. Each donation will include a plaque to provide a unique dedication in honour of the donor, as well as a charitable tax receipt for their donation. Staff will work with donors to determine a specific location, installation, and maintenance of the amenity for a predetermined lifecycle. 

    The opportunity to donate will come on a first come, first served basis. For more information and guidance on the program, visit lincoln.ca/jordanvillagedonations.

    PatShannon asked over 1 year ago

    Thank you for your question and your interest in the rich history of Jordan Village. 

    There was a concrete pedestrian tunnel crossing under Main Street connecting the Inn on the Twenty to the commercial building across the street which was removed this year during construction. 

    This was a private tunnel with no public access and it was used solely for the benefit of hotel staff and visitors. The structure itself appeared to be around 90 years old. The tunnel had no formal heritage designation and was in need of significant repair and continued maintenance to safely remain in service under the roadway. The Town had made efforts to maintain the tunnel and establish private partnerships, but it was determined not to be financially feasible. 

    We understand this is disappointing news, but we feel this course of action was in the best interest of the Town both now and in the future. We have documented records of the tunnel and the entry ways of the tunnel remain visible on either end for private tours. 

  • Share Can the King Street intersection not be moved up in the timeline as safety is more of a priority than aesthetics? That is a terrible intersection to cross with a vehicle, never mind as a person with a family or dog to walk.

    regiers asked over 1 year ago

    Thank you for your question. This project is being completed in phases to limit the impacts to residents and businesses during construction. A variety of factors were considered in the ordering of the phases including constructability, servicing, traffic flow, movement of soil, and business operations.  This summer NPEI will be completing the utility relocation work required to enable the intersection construction. The Niagara Region is also planning to start construction on the Twenty Mile Creek Arch Bridge Replacement directly west of the intersection. Given these factors, the current plan is to complete the intersection construction in Spring 2024. If possible, we will work to accelerate this schedule.

    We agree safety is the absolute highest priority, and we appreciate the community’s patience as we work to improve the current infrastructure.

    19th road between Wiser and 4th seems to be very narrow, why is that?

    BobM asked over 2 years ago

    Thank you for your question. The road has been narrowed to allow space to for separated cycling and pedestrian facilities off-road. In addition, narrowing the road should also have a traffic calming affect.

    Good Afternoon, David:

     

    Thank you for your inquiry. 

     

    King Street will remain open for the duration of the construction.  Daily lane closures will be controlled by a flag person as required.   The Town will continue to keep the community updated with any closures or detours as construction progresses.
