Oliver Street Capital Works Update #2

This week on Oliver Street, water service connections were replaced between 2nd and 3rd Avenues, irrigation was installed to the islands between 2nd and 3rd Avenues, and the fire hydrant at the corner of 3rd Avenue and Oliver Street was removed.

Work recommences Sunday May 22 with replacement of four main line water valves and fittings at the corner of 1st and Oliver Street. Work will continue next week between 1st and 2nd with the replacement of water service connections.

Works are expected to last another four weeks, and there will be intermittent periods of traffic disruption. Work is anticipated to be performed from Sunday during the day and Monday to Thursday starting at 7:00pm. In an effort to perform the work while keeping the downtown open and accessible, traffic and street parking on Oliver Street will be limited during the evening hours after 7:00pm while contractors are at work. While steps will be taken to mitigate disruption, schedules and traffic restrictions may change if circumstances require.

The public is asked to exercise caution in the area of construction and to obey signs and the instructions of flagging personnel.
