6th Street: park and school access upgrades
The City will be improving sidewalks along 6th St, Reigate Rd to Burris St (sites 1 and 2) and 6th St, Wedgwood St to Mayfield St (site 3). There may be times when access to residential driveways and parking areas will be restricted due to construction. Please expect delays.
Site 1, 2 and 3 construction is expected to start in the spring of 2024 and complete by the end of 2024.
Please note: our project timeline has been delayed for the area of 6th Street, Nursery Street to Burris Street to allow the First Nations the opportunity to conduct a Post Impact Assessment. This preliminary study will be undertaken to determine the potential presence of undocumented archaeological sites within this area. We are working hard to get the Post Impact Assessment and construction in this area completed by the end of 2024.
