Construction Notice for Wastewater Sewer maintenance on several local streets

Starting this winter, Halton Region will be upgrading the wastewater sewer system and maintenance holes on several local streets to maintain the wastewater infrastructure and reduce the risk of basement flooding. It is part of the Region’s infrastructure construction plan for roads, water, wastewater, and waste management projects across Halton.

The streets affected in Burlington include:

Beaver Street, between First Street and Lakeshore Road — see map PR-3042O Notice of Construction (Beaver Street) Word LetterMapFinalPDF (002);
South Service Road, at Fraser Drive — see map PR-3042O Notice of Construction (South Service Road) LetterMapFinalPDF;
Crofton Way, near Heather Hills and Four Seasons drives — see map PR-3042O Notice of Construction (Crofton Way) LetterMapFinalPDF;
Brant Street (Regional Road 18), in the area of Brant and Upper Middle — see map PR-3042O Notice of Construction (Brant Street) LetterMapFinalPDF;
Glen Acres Court, at Townsend Avenue — see map PR-3042O Notice of Construction (Glen Acres Court) LetterMapFinalPDF.

The contractor for all the projects is Atlantis Underground Services Inc., with project administration by Halton Region. Construction is expected to be completed by this summer.

Utilities, such as Union Gas, Hydro and Bell Canada, have already started to locate and mark out their existing infrastructure to prepare for this construction. Please do not remove these marker stakes or paint markings. The Region’s staff will come back to remove them once the project is complete.

Commenting Guidelines (click for more)

Here are guidelines before you comment, and our expectations before we will post:

Be civil. Would you speak this way to a good friend? If not, rewrite.
Focus on the issues. Build your argument and make your case in support of your opinion from facts, research or other sources. That way we can all learn. “I disagree with so-and-so because…” is fine; “So-and-so is naïve/stupid for thinking the way he/she does and here’s why…” is not acceptable.
Don’t make personal attacks. Don’t assume motives of those you disagree with, make unfounded allegations, spread rumours, or engage in any other behaviours that would discourage you from participating if someone said this to, or about, you. The Golden Rule applies: Do unto others as you would have done to you. We will edit or not post comments with this type of content.
Say it once: When comments from the same individual or individuals become repetitive, going over ground already stated, we reserve the right to close commenting.
Use your full, and real, name. If wish to make a comment in public, we expect you will publicly stand behind it with your name. If you don’t want to publicly reveal your name, that’s fine; you are always welcome to share your thoughts with me privately via my email below. I welcome and consider all feedback in making decisions for the community.
Have fun, consider and learn. Share your views and read those of others. May we all benefit from a healthy exchange of ideas, and learn a little more about the people in our community, what you think, and what’s important to each of you. You may end up changing your mind about an issue; even if you don’t, we hope everyone will gain a greater understanding of why people have different perspectives.
