Background

The City will be reconstructing Saunders Drive from approximately 150m north of Sebastien Road to Power Dam Drive in 2023.

The project includes reconstructing the road corridor, and the realignment of Saunders Drive (new pavement, ditches, curbs, bike paths, culverts).

As part of this project, a new recreational path on Power Dam Drive from the existing path to the intersection of Saunders Drive will be constructed. The new path will act as a link to existing trails and bicycle lanes in the area.

What to Expect During Construction

The project will involve the following work/stages:

1. Excavation
2. Installation of culverts.
3. Grading and placing granular for a new road base.
4. Installation of new curbs (forming and pouring).
5. Paving the new roadway – includes three layers of asphalt.
6. Restoration - includes new topsoil and sod and the repair of driveways and walkways.

Before the work starts, you will see utility companies (Enbridge, Bell, etc.) on your street. They are moving infrastructure they own to accommodate the work. If you have any service disruptions, please contact them directly.

Sometimes, unexpected events happen, like watermain breaks. When that happens, we cannot provide notice. We will work to restore your water service as quickly as possible.

There may be days where you don't see the Contractor on site in between the different stages of construction. This is a normal part of the process. The Contractor has many crews that do different types of work.

The Contractor may block your driveway during construction. They will do their best to keep these disruptions short. You will always be able to access your home and local businesses by foot. If you have any access needs, please contact the City.

If you have any questions or concerns, give us a call or e-mail us using the contact information on this page.
