October 2023

The City of Ottawa has commenced construction on the new watermains, sewers, and associated road rehabilitation work as part of the Greenfield-Main-Hawthorne et al. Reconstruction Project. To facilitate this work, the City of Ottawa has approved the closure of Hawthorne Avenue as outlined below.

What: A full road closure of Hawthorne Avenue between Colonel By Drive and Main Street over three weekends starting in September. 

Why: The road closure is required for the safety of the residents and workers, as there is limited area to accommodate the open cut excavation and the necessary labour, materials and equipment. This closure facilitates the installation of city services (watermain, storm and sanitary sewer) to the properties and catch basins on the north side of Hawthorne Avenue.

When: Hawthorne Avenue will be closed over three weekends starting in September*.

The dates are as follows:

• 7 pm on Friday, September 22 to 6 am on Monday, September 25
• 7 pm on Friday, September 29 to 6 am on Tuesday, October 3
• 7 pm on Friday, October 13 to 6 am on Monday, October 16 (if needed)

During the above weekend closures, the contractor has advised that they intend to work from 7 am to 10 pm Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday where applicable. In addition, a Noise By-law Exemption has been obtained to permit work on Sunday mornings between 7 and 9 am.

*These dates may change, depending on weather or scheduling conflicts with any closures of Highway 417.

Where: Hawthorne Avenue from Colonel By Drive to Main Street

Who: The City of Ottawa has retained the contractor, Green Infrastructure Partners Inc. (GIP), to complete the work.

Traffic and transit impacts

The detour route for the closure of Hawthorne Avenue will be via Clegg Street from Colonel By Drive to Main Street. Local residents and businesses only will have access to Hawthorne Avenue from Main Street. OC Transpo bus stops will be moved to temporary locations. Please visit octranspo.com for updates and detour information.

On-street parking and driveway impacts

To allow the work to be completed in a timely manner, on street parking is prohibited during the closures. The contractor is obligated to provide 24-hour notification of temporary loss of access/egress. In the event that access to your driveway is restricted due to construction activities, a Temporary On-Street Parking Permit (orange form) will be distributed to permit on-street parking within two blocks of your residence. 

Construction disruptions

Green Infrastructure Partners (GIP) will take every precaution to minimize interruptions to the everyday life of your family and/or operation of your business. As you can appreciate, there may be some inconvenience during the operation of the work, such as delays when travelling through the construction zone, noise and dust. You may also feel vibrations due to heavy equipment operations. Vibrations from construction activities are quite common and rarely cause any problems. We would like to thank you in advance for your patience and co-operation. For construction activity hours of work, the City of Ottawa follows provincial requirements and the City’s Noise By-law (2017-255).

Beginning in October 2023, the City of Ottawa will begin construction work to construct pedestrian crossovers in your neighbourhood.

What: Pedestrian crossovers are designated areas that allow pedestrians to safely cross the road, where vehicles must yield to pedestrians when crossing. Pedestrian crossovers (PXOs) are identified by specific signs and pavement markings. In some cases, but not always, they may also have pedestrian activated flashing beacons. More information on PXOs is available on the web site.

Why: This work is required to improve mobility and safety for pedestrians.

When: This work is scheduled to begin in late October 2023 and is anticipated to be completed by the end of November 2023.

Where: PXO’s will be constructed on each leg of the St-Joseph Boulevard/Jeanne-d’Arc Boulevard roundabout. Work will involve removal and replacement of sections of sidewalk adjacent to the intersection, asphalt and landscaping reinstatement, signs and pavement markings.

Who: The City of Ottawa has retained the contractor, Mopri Construction, to complete the work.

Accessibility

Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. The City makes every effort to provide access through and around construction sites. If you require a disability-related accommodation, please contact the undersigned. Accessible formats and communication supports are available, upon request.

Traffic, pedestrian and cycling impacts

To accommodate the proposed construction, temporary lane reductions will be required. Access to private properties, including pedestrian and cycling access, will be maintained throughout the construction period unless otherwise communicated.

Parking

To allow work to proceed, on-street parking in the vicinity of the PXO may be prohibited during the construction period. If required, signs will be placed a minimum of 24 hours in advance, indicating the parking prohibition. Vehicles parked at these locations may be towed at the owner’s expense.

In the event that access to private driveways is temporarily restricted due to construction activities, the on-site inspector will provide a temporary On-Street Parking Permit (orange form) to authorize on-street parking within a few blocks of your residence.

Construction disruptions

The contractor will take every precaution to minimize interruptions to the everyday life of your family and/or operation of your business, but, as you can appreciate, there may be some inconvenience during the course of the work, such as parking restrictions, noise, and odour. We would like to thank you for your patience and co-operation.

For construction activity hours of work, the City of Ottawa follows provincial requirements and the City’s Noise By-law (2017-255). This allows construction activity to occur weekdays between 7 am and 10 pm. On Saturdays, work is permitted between 7 am and 10 pm while Sunday and statutory holiday work is allowed between 9 am and 10 pm. The hours of work for this project will typically be Monday to Friday from 7 am to 6 pm.

Safety

The City of Ottawa is committed to safety in and around project sites. The project team continues to work closely with the industry and to comply with recommendations provided by municipal, provincial and federal health officials, as well as the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development.

The City of Ottawa will begin intersection improvements at the Albion Road South & Mitch Owens Road intersection starting this month.

Below is a detailed overview of the construction.

What: The City of Ottawa will be constructing a new median concrete island on Mitch Owens Road at the intersection of Albion Road South & Mitch Owens Road, with the implementation of a new traffic signal pole in that island to allow for a fully protected eastbound left-turn signal phase at the intersection.

Additionally, there will be street lighting modifications, new road signage where required, and an improvement to the location of the southbound stop bar on Albion Road South.

Why: This project is being delivered through the City of Ottawa’s Strategic Road Safety Action Plan and its overall purpose is to reduce the occurrence of fatal and major injury collisions and improve the overall safety at the intersection. This location was selected on the basis that it has experienced a disproportionately high number of left-turn collisions.

Currently, there is a protected-permissive left-turn signal phase for eastbound vehicles turning left from Mitch Owens Road onto Albion Road South, however once the current eastbound left turn signal phase terminates, left turning vehicles can continue to turn permissively on a green ball indication when a gap in opposing traffic is present, which exposes eastbound vehicles to a high speed conflict point with opposing vehicles travelling westbound on Mitch Owens Road. 

The intersection is being improved to allow for a fully protected eastbound left-turn signal phase, that includes installing two dedicated signal heads for the eastbound left turn movement and two dedicated signal heads for the eastbound through movement, which are required per provincial standards. This modification will allow the dedicated eastbound left turn signal phase to operate independent of any other conflicting vehicle movements at the intersection.

When: The work is planned to begin toward the end of October 2023, with the project to be completed by the end of 2023.

Where: The project will occur at the intersection of Albion Road South and Mitch Owens Road.

Who: The City of Ottawa has retained the contractor, TJL Construction, to complete the work.

Traffic impacts

All roads and lanes are expected to remain open during construction with reduced widths in some locations to allow for construction and with police presence at the intersection when required to accommodate traffic. Should any full closures be required, the exact timing and details will be communicated to residents in advance via mailed notices.

Construction disruptions

The contractor will take every precaution to minimize interruptions to the everyday life of your family and/or operation of your business, but, as you can appreciate, there may be some inconvenience during the work, such as traffic delays, noise and dust. You may also feel vibrations due to heavy equipment operations. Vibrations from construction activities are quite common and are rarely a cause for concern. We would like to thank you for your patience and cooperation.

This notice is to advise that construction in your neighbourhood will be undertaken in September 2023. This work is being conducted to complete the replacement of one (1) culvert to help improve your roadways and maintain surface drainage in your community.

What: The culvert will be replaced.  

Why: The culvert has reached end of life and is in very poor condition. 

When: Construction is planned to start in September 2023 and be completed by October 2023.

Where: The culvert is located on Swansea Crescent (L050103) – 0.30 km north of Stevenage Drive.

Who: The City of Ottawa has retained the contractor, Geleynse Earthworks, to complete the work.  

Traffic impacts

The construction is within the City’s right of way. Residents and businesses can expect construction traffic and activity along Swansea Crescent. 

Due to the nature of the work, a road closure may take place for up to two weeks on Swansea Crescent, on either side of the culvert during construction. Pedestrians and cyclists will also be detoured. 

Accesses to adjacent private lands will remain open throughout construction.

Construction disruptions

The contractor will take every precaution to minimize interruptions to the everyday life of your family and/or operation of your business, but as you can appreciate, there may be some inconvenience during the course of the construction work, such as delays and traffic detours, parking restrictions, noise and dust.

The City of Ottawa has commenced construction on the new watermains, sewers, and associated road rehabilitation work as part of the Greenfield-Main-Hawthorne et al. Reconstruction Project. To facilitate this work, the City of Ottawa has approved the closure of Echo Drive as outlined below.

What: A full road closure of Echo Drive moving with the installation of underground infrastructure from 300m south of Graham Avenue to Graham Avenue. 

Why: The road closure is required for the safety of the residents and workers, as there is limited area to accommodate the open cut excavation and the necessary labour, materials and equipment.

When: Echo Drive will be closed between April 17 and October 27, 2023. The scheduled closures may be modified as needed, for example if weather affects the schedule, or if conditions change.  

Where: Echo Drive from 300m south of Graham Avenue to Graham Avenue.

Who: The City of Ottawa has retained the Contractor, Aecon Construction Ontario East Ltd. (Aecon), to complete the work.

Traffic impacts

For the majority of the full road closure, local access to Echo Drive from Graham Avenue will be maintained. Local access is defined as those living within the limits of the road closure. Periodically, residents may be asked to access their homes from Hazel Street. The access at Immaculata High School will be maintained for school bus egress only. All other motorists are required to follow the signed detours and/or find alternative routes of travel. 

Future impacts include a closure of Graham Avenue at Echo Drive/Colonel By for which Graham Avenue will become a two-way street. The Contractor is targeting mid to late May for this closure. Colonel By Drive will be closed southbound between Hawthorne and Clegg starting in June for a period of 30 days. Appropriate notice will be provided for all future impacts. 

On-street parking and driveway impacts

To allow the work to be completed in a timely manner, on street parking may be prohibited during the construction period. Signs will be placed 24 hours in advance indicating the parking prohibition. The Contractor is obligated to provide 24-hour notification of temporary loss of access/egress. In the event that access to your driveway is restricted due to construction activities, a Temporary On-Street Parking Permit (orange form) will be distributed to permit on-street parking within two blocks of your residence. 

Garbage collection

The Contractor is aware of the garbage collection schedule and is required to maintain access so that garbage can be collected at the curb. If vehicular access is interrupted for any reason, the contractor is responsible to move the garbage from the homeowner’s curb to a common location where it can be picked up. Empty containers will then be returned to the appropriate homeowners/businesses.

Construction disruptions

Aecon Construction Ontario East Ltd. (Aecon) will take every precaution to minimize interruptions to the everyday life of your family and/or operation of your business, but as you can appreciate, there may be some inconvenience during the course of the operation of the work, such as delays when travelling through the construction zone, noise and dust.
