TEMPORARY ROAD CLOSURE NOTICE

Dear Resident,
You don't have to look far in Kitchissippi Ward to see that construction season is in full force. Here is one current and two upcoming road closures to keep in mind as you make your way around the ward.
Earlier this week, Redwood was closed from Byron to Dovercourt. Here is the flyer sent to local residents:

Please see attached the details of the compromise reached for the Harmer Avenue Pedestrian Bridge bike detour along Holland Avenue.
Construction is coming soon to the north end of Sherbourne Road. Pre-construction activities will begin in late July with actual construction coming in early August. Here is the flyer the City recently distributed to residents within or near the construction zone.

Watermain Replacement Project
The City of Ottawa is planning a sidewalk for the south side of Dovercourt and will be flyering the area soon about an open house to be held July 31 at the Dovercourt Recreation Centre. Just in case you miss the flyer or don't live in the immediate neighbourhood, here it is!
Open House

Dear Resident,
We have two updates on the 417 widening work and some traffic impacts.
Scheduled to begin on August 7, the Carling Avenue 417 Westbound on-ramp will be closed for a minimum of nine weeks. Signage will be present advising motorists of the ramp closure and providing alternate access points to the highway westbound. If any changes to this scheduled closure arise, we will notify residents as soon as possible. The MTO does not anticipate any further long ramp closures this year.
Laroche Park: Community Consultation for Park and Community Building Redevelopment
Last year, we consulted with Kitchissippi Ward on how to spend our Cash-in-Lieu funds. The top priority for the Ward is a new field house for Laroche Park. Over the past several months, we have been pressing staff to begin getting this project underway in earnest, as our CIL funds are building up. In addition to a new field house, there will also be the long-awaited Sens Rink.
Construction is well underway at 1960 Scott St (the Trailhead site), and it continues to have impacts in the neighbourhood. This post highlights a further sidewalk closure that, this time, will affect some cyclists as well, beginning in early August.
Back in May, the City of Ottawa held a Public Information Session about an upcoming reconstruction project on Mailes Avenue.
Tendering of the contract for the Mailes Avenue watermain, sewer, road and sidewalk work will begin in the spring of next year with construction set to start in early summer.
The work will take place on Mailes Avenue between Patricia Avenue and Oakdale Avenue, Island Park Drive between Richmond Road and Mailes Avenue, and Lane 81-V between Mailes Avenue and Rockhurst Road.
The design can be found attached to this post.
You may recall, that as part of the future development at the Mizrahi site (1445-1451 Wellington St W), there will be a new urban park. In May 2016 we hosted community consultations for this new park, and staff have now prepared the final design.
