Oliver St Project Update #7

A project to replace a 28-metre, 6-inch diameter water line between Glen Arbor and City Hall is expected to be completed today - Thursday, July 21st. That will mark the end of underground work on Oliver Street.

It is expected that the installation of the upgraded traffic signals at 3rd Avenue and Oliver Street will be completed later this week. As with the upgraded traffic lights at 2nd Avenue and Oliver Street, a voice feature informs pedestrians when it is safe to cross the street, and which street is safe to cross. The system is activated by pressing the buttons on the poles at the corners of the intersections. The upgrade also includes efficient LED lights, cameras, and street lights at all four corners.
Curb, gutter, and sidewalk repairs in the downtown core will continue for the next few weeks. It is expected that grinding and paving of Oliver Street from 8th Avenue to Mackenzie Avenue will commence in mid-August.
