Working hours
Our contractor’s normal working hours are from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. These hours are consistent with the local municipality’s bylaws. We understand this may cause some inconvenience, but a shorter working day would mean the project would take longer to complete.
Traffic and parking control
- We will be implementing a road closure on Mississauga Road from Eglinton Avenue West to Burnhamthorpe Road West. This will limit the through traffic in the area and will allow the project schedule to be expedited, while maintaining the safety of the public. Local traffic will always be allowed including school buses and emergency vehicles. Detour signage will be put in place for commuter traffic prior to the road closure.
- We anticipate this road closure to start on March 15, 2021, for a period of 12 weeks, weather permitting.
- Mi-Way bus routes will be detoured from Mississauga Road to Erin Mills Parkway. If you use public transit you will need to walk to the nearest bus stop at Eglinton Avenue West or Burnhamthorpe Road West to accommodate the road closure. For further information on Mi-Way’s bus schedule please call 905-615-4636 or visit the Mi-Way Schedules and maps webpage.
- We may need to reduce traffic to a single lane during construction on Beaufort Terrace and Eckland Court, with certain sections limited only to the local residents.
- On-street parking will be reduced during construction on Beaufort Terrace and Eckland Court.
Driveway access
- Due to construction activities, we may need to block your driveway for a short time. We will contact you before we do this to arrange for the best time and for alternate access, if needed. If your driveway is blocked, you may choose to park on a side street for a short time. If you need immediate access to your driveway, the contractor will have road plates available to quickly allow access in and out of your driveway.
- We will make sure businesses have access at all times.
- Please call the Project Manager if you have special needs related to access or business hours.
Irrigation or sprinkler systems
- Please tell the inspector if you have underground irrigation or a sprinkler system outside your property line.
- You may wish to move the sprinkler lines to inside your private property to avoid damage.
Trimming trees
- If tree branches within the right-of-way interfere with construction, the contractor will have the trees pruned before equipment enters the drip line of the tree.
- If tree branches on private property interfere with construction, they will be pruned back to the nearest suitable trunk, crotch or branch.
- The contractor will ask you for permission before cutting any branches on private property. If you do not allow the contractor onto your property to trim the branches, the branches will be cut vertically at the property line.
Interrupting your water supply
- It is our goal to let you know 48 hours (2 days) in advance if we need to shut off your water. Occasionally, we may have to reduce this notice to 24 hours.
- For water interruption during service transfers, the contractor will notify you the day of the transfer as this will be a brief interruption.
- If we have to shut off your water because of an emergency, we will do everything we can to fix the problem as quickly as possible.
Waste collection
- Your garbage, recycling and organics containers will continue to be picked up on your regularly scheduled day. It is the contractor’s responsibility to move your garbage, recycling and organics bins to a location where our collection vehicles can pick them up. Empty containers will be returned to their corresponding addresses. Please make sure your house number is clearly marked on each bin.
Vibrations
You may feel slight vibrations from the construction work.
Replacing and taking care of your sod
- The contractor will take care of any sod we replace for 30 days.
- You can help the sod to stay healthy by watering it for one hour in the early morning, two or three times a week. This is especially important in hot or dry weather.
- We will replace your sod as soon as we can, but there may be a short delay.
- It is very common for the work area to settle a bit following construction. If you notice any settlement, please let the project manager or inspector know and we will ensure the contractor fixes it.
Repairing your driveway
For all residential properties on Mississauga Road:
- If we need to cut your driveway to replace the existing service valve or access the watermain, we will repair the asphalt in the disturbed area from edge to edge across the driveway. Unfortunately, the Region cannot completely replace your driveway.
- Several weeks before the driveway restoration work, we will send you an update with the contractor’s contact information in case you wish to have the remainder of your driveway (private side) paved at the same time.
- If you have any concerns, please call the Project Manager.
- We will repair your driveway as soon as we can, but there may be a short delay.
For all residential properties on Beaufort Terrace and Eckland Court:
- The City of Mississauga has scheduled Beaufort Terrace and Eckland Court for Roadway Rehabilitation in 2022, pending budget and council approval. During Roadway Rehabilitation works, a portion of most driveway aprons (or at the driveway entrance within the City right-of-way) will be disturbed again along the curb.
- If we damaged a portion of your asphalt driveway, we will repair the asphalt in the disturbed area by installing a temporary asphalt patch by our watermain contractor. Following the City of Mississauga’s work in 2022, your driveway will be replaced in the disturbed area from edge to edge across the driveway. Unfortunately, we cannot repair the entire driveway and will only restore the damaged portion. During City’s resurfacing in 2022, should you wish to have the entire or the rest of your driveway paved, you can make your own arrangements to have the work done at the same time.
- If we damaged a portion of your interlock driveway/concrete driveway, our contractor will reinstate the damaged portion of the driveway.
- For further information on the City’s Road Rehabilitation Project, please contact Loudel Uy, City of Mississauga, at 905-615-3200 ext. 3157.
Repairing the road, curbs, and sidewalks
- We will start restoring the road and boulevard once all replacements and service transfers are complete and as weather permits.
- We will complete the restoration on a street-by-street basis once all underground works have been completed.
Project updates
- The Region of Peel will always let you know if there are any major changes to the plans.
- We will try to disturb you as little as possible.
- Please call the project manager or inspector if you have any concerns or special needs.
How did we do
- After we’ve finished, we will give you a postage-paid card for you to rate our work.
- Please complete the card and mail it back to us.
