  • Finlayson Drive
  • Calder Crescent
  • Lamoureux Road
  • Engle Business District
  • Northland Trailer Park
  • Grace Lake Boulevard
  • Williams Avenue
  • Hall Crescent

Water & Sewer Work

  • Dagenais Drive
  • Franklin Avenue

Trail Improvements

A list of construction projects, road closures, detours and changes to transit routes can be found on the City’s website.

Be safe; be smart on the roads. A number of accidents can be chalked up to inattentive drivers in construction zones. The City issued a reminder to residents to “be attentive to road signs, reduce speeds in construction zones and plan ahead when commuting as traffic delays can be expected.“
