Lower Mount Royal Local Drainage Improvements

About the Project

This project will provide increased flood protection and aged utility upgrades to residents in the Lower Mount Royal community. Utility upgrades in the community will include treated water, sanitary and storm water infrastructure improvements. Additionally, curb to curb paving will be completed throughout the project site upon completion.

Project Schedule

This project will be undertaken in phases to limit impacts in the community when possible.

Phase 1:

• April 14: Construction activities will begin.
  • Closure: Both eastbound lanes on 17 Avenue S.W. near the intersection of 7 Street S.W. and 17 Avenue S.W.
  • Closure: 7 Street S.W. from 17 Avenue S.W. to the Shoppers Drug Mart driveway. Alley access will remain available during this time.
  • 18 Avenue S.W. between 7 Street S.W. and 8 Street S.W. will be limited for local access only.
  • A laydown area will be established on the north side of 19 Avenue S.W. between 7 Street S.W. and 8 Street S.W. Street parking in this area will be limited. Local access will be maintained.

• April 17, 7:00 p.m. to April 21, at 5:00 a.m.: The intersection of 17 Avenue S.W. and 7 Street S.W. will be closed for the duration of the long weekend.

Phases 2 & 3:

• April 21: Work will begin on phase 2 and gradually continue south on 7 Street S.W., onto 18 and 19 Avenue S.W. throughout phase 3.
• 7 Street S.W., 18 Avenue S.W. and 19 Avenue S.W. will be closed for local traffic periodically throughout phases 2 and 3. Advance notification will be provided for driveway or access closures.

Parking

Construction activity in the area will have rolling parking and access impacts in the community. When properties will be directly impacted and access will be restricted, contractors will notify property owners in advance to make appropriate arrangements and to understand any individual needs and circumstances. To support residents, The City is working to ensure parking alternatives are available when driveways or access are limited.
