Full slate of streets to be resurfaced
A better than expected result of tenders submitted for the City of Cranbrook’ s 2015 Capital Road Program means all the collector and local streets identified by staff to be repaved in will be completed.
Earlier in the year council directed staff to identify roads that could be simply repaved, in order to maximize the amount of paving that could occur as part of the 2015 Capital Roads program.
Those roads and streets will include:
– Kootenay Street North (21st Avenue North to Kootenay Place);
– 26th Ave South and 2A St South (3rd St South to 27th Ave South);
– Cranbrook Street North (2nd St North to Highway 3);
– 2nd Street South (27th Ave South to 31st Ave South);
– 26th Ave South and 6th St South (5th St South to 27th Ave South);
– Sylvan Heights (25th Ave South, 26th Ave South, 3A, 4th & 5th St South);
– Industrial Road 2 (Industrial Road 3 to Industrial Road F);
– 2nd St South (Victoria Ave to 24th Ave South);
– 4th St South (8th Ave South to 11th Ave South);
– 29th Ave South (3rd St South to 7th St South, gravel surface);
– 27A Ave South (3rd St South to 7th St South, gravel surface).
The roadwork will consist of removal of the asphalt, reshaping of the roadbed to ensure better water runoff and finally repaving the street.
No underground infrastructure work (water lines, sewer lines, storm sewer system) is planned.
Residents and businesses to be affected by the resurfacing program will receive notification from the contractor. The contractor will be working with Engineering & Development Services to ensure any disruptions are minimal for those affected and will take all the necessary steps to maintain public safety.
Drivers and pedestrians are asked to please watch for and respect all traffic signs and directions from flaggers and remember to slow down in construction zones.
Temporary road closures may take place in some locations, with detour routes posted. Work is expected to begin in June.
