York Street and Wallace Road Reconstruction
The Town has made improvements on York Street from Speers Road to Wallace Road, and on Wallace Road, from Speers Road to the end of the Wallace Road cul-de-sac.
Project scope
The York and Wallace reconstruction project included improvements to replace the highly asphalted right-of-way with curbing and boulevard space. This change has added 40 per cent more green space within the boulevard, and legal on-street parking, where feasible, to serve local businesses.
Safety improvements were made with upgrades to the existing area street lighting and an added sidewalk along the east side of York Street, and along the north side of Wallace between York Street and Speers Road. A new storm sewer, complete with oil and grit separator, was added to improve stormwater quality and drainage in the project area.
Work substantially completed
- Asphalt resurfacing
- Road grading and boulevard restoration
- New concrete curb and gutter
- Driveway restoration
- Utility upgrades
- Storm sewer upgrades
- Streetlight upgrades
- Street tree pruning/removal
