Please refrain from parking on the street within the project limits during each phase. Residents are encouraged to park in their driveways or in the designated parking areas on Main Street, Queen Street and Washington Street. If you must park within the project limits, please remove your vehicle by 7:00 am to allow for work to continue without disruption.

During construction, any privately-owned infrastructure (irrigation: sprinklers, sprinkler heads/hose, etc.), landscaping (gardens, etc.), and decorations in the right of way may be damaged. Residents are responsible to relocate, remove and/or repair anything that is in the right of way during construction. If any of the items listed above are relocated within the right of way and become damaged during construction, it is solely the resident’s responsibly to restore and/or repair. The County is only responsible for repairing driveways and lawns (topsoil and sod).

While your street is closed to through traffic during construction, garbage trucks will not be permitted to enter the project limits. The Contractor will be responsible for collecting your garbage and recycling on the day of pickup. To ensure your garbage and recycling get collected each week, garbage and recycling must be placed curbside by 7:00 am. Mark your bins with your street address so that they can be returned to the correct property by end of day.

During construction, additional notices will be delivered at key milestone events (e.g. water shutdowns, concrete curb placement, sidewalk installation, asphalt paving and sod installation). Please monitor your mailbox throughout construction to stay informed. You can also visit www.brant.ca/roadclosures for all project notices. Please refer to Municipal511 https://www.municipal511.ca for the most up-to-date information regarding road construction and closures.

It is our goal to minimize any inconvenience to our residents. Your patience through any disruption will be greatly appreciated.
