Restoration and temporary road closure
Sanitary sewer replacement and improvement – John Street. Project 19-2300_E
The Region of Peel will be repairing driveways, roads, curbs, sidewalks, and sod (grass) following the replacement of the sanitary sewer on John St.
Restoration schedule
Restoration work will commence by fixing sidewalks, curbs, and gutters. This will be followed by driveway paving, and then road restoration in mid-June. Lastly, sod will then be replaced where topsoil has been placed in late June. This process will take approximately three weeks. We plan to complete all restoration work by the end of June 2023.
Contractor and working hours
The work will be overseen by Trisan Construction Limited under contract to the Region of Peel. This contractor’s normal working hours are from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday to Friday. These hours are consistent with the local municipality’s bylaws. We understand this may cause some inconvenience, but shorter working days would require your street to be under construction for a longer period of time.
Traffic and parking
We will need to reduce traffic to a single lane on both sides of Centre Street South during this work. We will place signs giving directions. On-street parking will be reduced when we are actively working on your street. If you need to park on the street, please park outside the active construction zone.
Bus Stop
The City of Brampton Bus Stop located at the southeast corner of Centre St S and John St will be temporarily relocated on June 9, 2023 during the working hours of 7:00 am to 5:00 pm.
- The bus stop will be relocated to the hydro pole approximately 52m south of the existing bus stop.
- City of Brampton Transit will install and remove the temporary bus stop signage
Driveway repairs
- Asphalt removals and paving of driveways are scheduled to take place June 12 to 23, 2023, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
- Please avoid parking in your driveway when it is being repaired to provide maximum access to the construction crew.
- The construction crew will knock on your door before work on your driveway begins. If you will not be home weekdays between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. during driveway paving, please do not leave any vehicles in the driveway.
- Once the driveway is repaired, it is important to avoid driving on the new asphalt for the first three hours afterwards, and to avoid parking on the new asphalt for one day.
- Interlock or concrete driveways: If we damaged a portion of your driveway, our contractor will reinstate the damaged portion of the driveway.
- Asphalt driveways: If we have cut your driveway, the driveway will be repaired by paving a stripe over the disturbed area, resulting in minimal seams in the final driveway. The Region of Peel cannot replace your entire driveway.
If you would like to have the rest of your driveway paved, please contact the contractor, Vox Construction at (416) 989-1966 who will be completing the driveway paving. Please remember this is your option. If you decide to have your entire driveway repaved, this extra paving work is your responsibility and outside the jurisdiction of the Region of Peel.
In-ground sprinkler systems
If the area in front of your home was affected by the construction work, in-ground sprinkler lines may be impacted during the upcoming repairs to sod, driveways, and curbs. We strongly recommend moving any sprinkler lines that are located next to the sidewalk or driveway, or within the municipally owned right-of-way. The right-of-way is the land owned by the municipality between the street and your water service box (small, round metal valve in either your driveway or lawn).
If you can’t relocate these sprinkler lines, please:
- Send us a map created by your irrigation contractor, or
- Flag each sprinkler head that is located near the sidewalk, curb, and driveway (if you have not done so already).
This will allow us to minimize the impact to your sprinkler system.
Replacing and taking care of your sod
The contractor will replace any damaged sod (grass) on the boulevard or your front lawn and will take care of the new sod for 30 days. You can help the sod stay healthy by watering it. A longer ‘deep root watering’ works better to establish new sod than watering more frequently for a shorter time. Watering in the early morning allows more water to soak in rather than evaporating.
Warranty on construction repairs
Repair work completed as part of this sanitary sewer replacement project is under warranty for two years from the completion date. At times, it is possible for repaired areas to settle slightly. If you notice a settlement forming where the driveway, street, or lawn was repaired, please let us know and we will ensure the contractor fixes this as soon as possible.
Safety during construction
Construction zones require extra caution to keep everyone safe – pedestrians, cyclists, drivers, and construction workers. When driving, walking, or biking through the construction area, please be aware of your surroundings, watch for construction crews and other road users, slow down, account for delays, and consider other routes if possible. Learn more about how to stay safe in construction zones.
Staying informed
We will let you know if there are any major changes to the plans. Information on this construction project can also be found on the project webpage.
Thank you for your patience as we complete this restoration work. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us.
