Update on construction project repairs
Repairing the road, repairing driveways, replacing sod, and adjusting water service boxes. Project 18-1370 and 18-1370 AB
Within the past three years, Peel Region’s contractors replaced the watermain on your street and then repaired driveways, streets, curbs, sidewalks and grassy areas affected by this construction.
We will be returning to your neighbourhood to do some additional repair work where needed to the street, driveways, and/or grassy areas that were previously repaired.
Construction schedule
This work is planned to occur between May 2024 and June 2024. As this work depends on the weather, these dates may change.
Traffic and parking
We may need to temporarily close roads or reduce traffic to a single lane while repair work is underway. If we must reroute traffic, we will place signs giving directions. On-street parking will be reduced during construction when we are actively working on your street. If you need to park on the street, please park outside the active construction area.
Adjusting water service boxes
Some properties may require a water service box adjustment. The water service box is a small, round, metal valve located outside, on the property line between your home and the road. Depending on the location of the water service box, we may have to dig up a portion of your driveway or lawn to adjust it. If this is the case, your driveway will be repaved, and/or your sod will be replaced in the area that we dig.
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.
Driveway repairs
- Asphalt driveways: If your driveway requires repairs, a stripe will be paved over the disturbed area, resulting in minimal seams in the final driveway. Peel Region cannot replace your entire driveway. If you would like to have the rest of your driveway paved, please contact the contractor, Vic’s Group Inc., 416-335-9977. The contractor will then share contact information for the company hired to do the paving repairs. 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 Peel Region.
- Interlock or concrete driveways: If your driveway requires repairs, our contractor will reinstate the damaged portion of the driveway.
Road paving schedule
We expect road paving activities to take place on Whitehead Crescent between Wednesday May 8th and Thursday May 23rd, 2024, and at Creditview Road and Carolyn Road pedestrian crossing between Thursday May 30th and Friday May 31st, 2024.
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.
