Sidewalk Placement on St. George Street – September 17, 2024

Happy (almost) fall, Elgin County residents! Work on St. George Street continues, with sidewalk placement starting today. This new sidewalk will be separated from the roadway by a grass boulevard to increase safety and comfort for those walking on St. George Street. You’ll also notice intersection improvements, including shorter crossing distances to enhance safety for all users. Sidewalk installation will continue throughout this week along the north side of St. George Street. Please be mindful of the sidewalk formwork, as it creates a tripping hazard. Do not walk on the sidewalk until the formwork has been removed and the concrete has had time to cure properly.

Residents on the north side of the street have received door hangers and are reminded to park on designated side streets for four days after the sidewalk is placed in front of their homes to allow for proper curing and to minimize damage.

The remainder of the base asphalt is scheduled for Tuesday, September 24th. The site will be busy with asphalt pavers, rollers, and dump trucks carrying hot asphalt. All residents are asked to use Talbot Street to enter and exit the area for everyone’s safety throughout the day.

Thank you, as always, for your understanding as we wrap up major work on the project for the season.
