LAKEVIEW 2025

We are pleased to announce that the foundation and excavation work, along with the installation of drainage infrastructure and retention basins along Lakeview, is now complete. This marks an important milestone in the project and brings us one step closer to its completion.

In the coming two weeks, grading, leveling, and possibly paving will be carried out on Lakeview, from Selkirk to Oakland. Work on landscaping and paving the multi-purpose path between McNaughten and Selkirk is continuing. Please be aware that all work is subject to weather conditions.

Discoloured water

• During the water service connection work, residents may notice temporary discolouration in their water. This is caused by the disturbance of naturally occurring iron particles that settle at the bottom of the aqueduct system.
• As water flow is redirected during the connection process, these particles can become stirred up, leading to a change in water appearance. Despite the discolouration, the water remains safe to drink.
• If you experience discoloured water, run your cold water until it clears.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

The intersection of Cameron and Lakeview will be partially closed the week of September 8^th. Alternating traffic will be allowed; flag-persons will be on site to manage the traffic

Removal of vegetation in Zone 1 (Selkirk to McNaughten) to begin

On July 2nd, the Town’s Environment Technician along with the Landscape Architect, and Civil Engineers hired for the project, conducted a site inspection along the eastern portion of Lakeview from Selkirk to McNaughten. The objective of this inspection was to identify and mark the vegetation and trees for removal. During this inspection five (5) trees previously slated for removal were identified as being possible to conserve using specialized excavation methods with hydro-excavation rather than traditional mechanical equipment. These trees include two (2) Norway Maples, one (1) Silver Maple, one (1) Oak, and one (1) Fir.

The inspection along the western portion of the Lakeview project, from Selkirk to Oakland is planned to take place in the coming weeks.

The Lakeview project has been divided into two zones of Selkirk as the lowest drainage point:

Zone 1: to the east, from Selkirk to McNaughten

Zone 2: to the west, Selkirk to Oakland

The Construction preparation phase will continue during the week of July 7, 2025 in Zone 1 (Selkirk to McNaughten) and includes the following activities:

1. Removal and trimming of identified trees and vegetation:

a. Trees marked with a red dot will have their branches trimmed to prevent damage during construction. This work will be performed by a certified arborist;

b. Trees marked with a red “TH” will be removed;

c. Hedges, partial hedges, smaller trees, and other vegetation located within the public right of way will also be removed.

2. Exploratory excavation for grading;

3. Extension of the sanitary sewer network at the intersections of Selkirk, Pine, Cedar and Melrose streets;

4. Installation of worksite signage; and

5. Mobilization of equipment and materials.

Additionally, a temporary watermain will be installed on the south side of Lakeview between Maple and Melrose streets. This will serve as an emergency water source should water service need to be interrupted during construction. Please note that throughout the construction phase, water will be available in the mornings, evenings, and overnight. Any planned daytime water shutdowns will be communicated in advance to allow sufficient preparation time.

Identification of vegetation to be removed begins on July 2

The final preparations prior to the excavation phase continue during the week of June 30^th and include:

All work will be carried out on weekdays between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.

The excavation phase is scheduled to begin on July 14.
