And the winner is… 6th Street North.
City of Cranbrook council this evening (May 12) received the proposed 2014 Capital Roads Program from chief administrative officer Wayne Staudt and the big ticket winner for this year is the pitted 6th Street North, from Victoria Avenue to Kootenay Street.
The proposed $1,693,313 project, including engineering, will involve full depth excavation and removal of unsuitable soils, removal and replacement of water and sewer mains, replacement of storm drains, replacement of sidewalk and damaged concrete, full reconstruction of the sub-base, base and asphalt for the full width of the road and replace the road with 75mm of asphalt.
Industrial Road No. 2, including Road C to Industrial Road No. 3, will have about $347,200 spent on engineering, milling and removal of asphalt, regarding with gravel and repaving with 100mm of asphalt.
The city intends to re-grade and repave 17th Avenue North, from 2nd Street North to 1st Street South, at an estimated cost of $336,000.
About $117,600 in work is currently being done to the 2nd Street North and Victoria Avenue intersection.
Baker Street at 17th Avenue will receive the installation of a sidewalk, on the north side of Baker Street, which will connect the existing sidewalk from Mount Baker Secondary School to the sidewalk at the corner of 17th Avenue. In addition, the curb, gutter and sidewalk on the south side of Baker Street will be removed and replaced and areas where asphalt is removed will be repaved, at an estimated cost of $112,000.
The city will also spend about $278,000 on the installation of a sidewalk and LED street lighting from 17th Street South to the existing sidewalk on the west side of 14th Avenue and another $23,600 on removing 30 metres of existing sidewalk and replacing it at 8th Avenue, near Koko Beach.
“I’m very excited about this program. From my perspective this is a great selection; great choice,” said Mayor Wayne Stetski May 12.
Staudt told council that the public will receive updates on what is happening and when before any work takes place.
