Update on Phase 1 and 2

THE ROAD IS NOW OPEN!!

+ Completed installation of guide rail and chain link fence
+ Completed installation of luminaires, decorative pedestrian streetlight mast arms, banner arms and flower pot holders, throughout
+ Completed installation of signage
+ Completed temporary line painting/markings
+ Continued gateway monument construction; installed lettering

In the early 2019, the Contractor will:
+ Complete installation of bridge and culvert railings
+ Continue gateway monument construction, pending the weather (will not affect road operation)

In the Spring, 2019, the Contractor will come back to complete the following:
+ Complete gateway monument construction
+ Complete pattern colour concrete splash pad installation between the curb and the sidewalk, throughout (continuous pour to achieve uniform look)
+ Complete minor sidewalk installation
+ Complete colour staining of bridge and culvert parapet walls (continuous staining to achieve uniform look)
+ Install pier caps on bridge and culvert parapet walls
+ Complete outstanding driveway asphalt
+ Complete placement of top asphalt and permanent (durable) thermoplastic line markings
+ Complete final grading touch-ups, top soil, seeding and sod
+ Address final requests and deficiencies, if any

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE WINTER
PHASE 1:
+ Contractor will demobilize off site as of Wednesday, December 19, 2018. The Contractor provided emergency numbers and will be available to respond, if needed, over the winter months. Over the winter months, the roadway will be maintained by the Regional Operations Department.
+ Both site trailers will remain near the Pumping Station until the Spring. At that time, if our current Vendor is successful on winning Phase 2, both trailers will remain until December 2019. If not, they will be removed around May/June and a new Vendor will select a new location within Phase 2.
+ All newly constructed sidewalks will be kept closed until Spring 2019 due to: a small section of incomplete sidewalk around the bridge area, outstanding bridge and culvert railings and incomplete pattern colour concrete splash pads. Proper signage was placed. The Town of Caledon was notified. Sidewalks will not be plowed.
+ Newly constructed lay-by will be kept closed until Spring 2019 due to: incomplete permanent (durable) thermoplastic line markings for parking stalls and sidewalks being closed. Proper signage was placed. The Regional Operations Department was notified. Lay-by will not be plowed.
+ All newly installed ‘share the road’ signs (bicycle signage) will be bagged until Spring 2019 due to: incomplete permanent (durable) thermoplastic line markings.
+ Install and keep until March two Portable Variable Message Broads advising of the new speed limit and road conditions ahead

PHASE 2:
+ We are hoping to secure a Vendor for Phase 2 works by the end of February, 2019. The project will commence by the end of March
+ Enbridge Contractor will commence gas main relocations along Main Street South based on the following preliminary schedule:
+ Edmund Street to Station Street (east side of the road) – January to March
+ Queen Street to Edmund / Station Street to Beechgrove (east side of the road) – February to June
+ Most of the work will be done underground using directional drilling method. Sending and receiving shafts will be required at various locations. Some customers will be reconnected to the new main, once completed. Sub-station at N/W corner of McClellan Road will be relocated to S/W corner

An open letter to Serguei Kabanov, Project Manager (Roads – Design and Construction, Public Works) at the Region of Peel

12/12/2018

Serguei, on behalf of the Alton Village Association we wish to thank you for keeping us up-to-date on the progress of your work on Queen St. East. Not only did you keep residents informed, but also involved by listening patiently to concerns and suggestions. The photos you provided helped us understand and appreciate the true scope of the project. We congratulate you and your team for bringing the project in ahead of schedule, a feat which seems to be quite rare these days!
The improvements initiated by Region of Peel on Queen St. East included reconstruction of the bridge and culvert over Shaw’s Creek, drainage and boulevard improvements, on-street parking, decorative street lighting, streetscaping enhancements and landscaping. We appreciated the Public Information Sessions which allowed interested residents to be part of the process, and now we all look forward to seeing those concept drawings become reality.
Again, thanks to you and everyone who worked so hard to bringing the project in ahead of time.
Sincerely,
The Alton Village Association
