Project timelines

In August 2021, Council directed staff to continue with the preliminary design and public input received to date for the portion of Walton Street from Church Street to Pine Street in the fall/winter of 2021/2022 with construction to begin in 2022. Council further directed staff to commence additional public and stakeholder engagement prior to moving forward with detailed design for Walton Street from Pine Street to Mill Street. With this Council direction, staff separated the project into two phases:

Phase 1 (Church Street to Pine Street)

Phase 1 of the reconstruction began on June 6, 2022, with the closure of Walton Street (from Church Street to Pine Street). The anticipated timeline for this phase is approximately four months. For more details, visit our news page.

The Intersection at Pine and Walton closed on Wednesday, June 15. The anticipated three day closure of the intersection at Pine and Walton Streets has been extended. The closure will remain in effect until Wednesday, June 29. The extended closure is a result of unforeseen watermain issues.

Phase 2 (Pine Street to Mill Street)

A Special Meeting of the Works and Engineering Committee was held virtually on Wednesday, June 22, 2022. In the meeting, Members of Council reviewed and considered proposed designs for Phase 2 of the Walton Street Reconstruction project (Pine St. to Mill Street). At the July 5 Council Meeting, Council approved their preferred design.
