Feb 16-21 - CONSTRUCTION NOTICE: Storm Outfall Rehabilitation Project:
Construction crews have begun work on the Storm Outfall Rehabilitation Project - Storm Drainage Improvements. Construction will include excavation, removal of old stormwater pipe, and new pipe installation, which runs under 50th Avenue out to the main public beach, and restoration of the area. The affected work area is 49th Avenue and 50th Avenue between 50th Street to 51 Street (specifically between the Alberta Beach Hotel and Jungles). The expected completion date for the project is a few weeks. Efforts will be made to minimize the impact of traffic delays and any partial traffic road closures that may be needed; please expect some delays. This project was made possible by grant funding received through the Municipal Stimulus Program.
We thank you for your patience and understanding while this work is underway.
