Main Street Reconstruction Project Update - April 27, 2018

It has been a productive week with the Main Street Reconstruction Project as the Contractor has embraced the warmer weather. JB Enterprises Ltd. has completed the following work for the week ending April 27, 2018:

• Sanitary Sewer and Manholes have been installed north on Main Street from Sewage Treatment Lane to Beck Boulevard;
• Temporary Watermain has been chlorinated and flushed. Currently undergoing bacteriological testing;
• Concrete Road Base is being broken and removed as work progresses; and,
• Installation of a segregated area to temporarily store any removed material that requires further testing.
• Installation of an alternate entrance into the Town Dock Parking area to be used while works are completed at the Main Street and Beck Boulevard intersection.

The following items are scheduled to be completed for the week of April 30th to May 4th, 2018:

• Tying water services into the temporary watermain;
• Complete sanitary sewer north to Wolfe Street and begin installation south to Tessier Drive;
• Start installation of new watermain from Wolfe Street heading South;
• Start water and sanitary services to property line; and,
• Continue concrete road base removal.

During this time the vehicular traffic travelling on the Main Street will be detoured around the work area in accordance with the approved traffic control plan.

The Public Works Department has received several complaints that speeding on the detour routes, Peel Street and the areas around Burekvale School has become an issue. The Town will be posting a speed monitoring device in these areas and has asked for focused police monitoring in these areas.

We would like to thank you in advance for your patience and co-operation during this work. Should you have any questions or concerns please contact the Public Works Department at 549-7992 or visit the Town of Penetanguishene website at www.penetanguishene.ca.
