Restoration of roads damaged during sewer installation is finally going to be completed in King City with a few exceptions as reviewed below. The 2012 work plan has always included paving a number of streets but the budget was inadequate to do all. Now, thanks to the job being contracted out at a lower price than anticipated coupled with a Developer Contribution we are able to expand the number of streets to be completed. We are also maximizing funding available from Build Canada Funding.
As I said there are a few streets which won’t be restored this year. But, as we live in world of finite resources the decision not to do so is actually good news in that it shows that we are being prudent. All or portions of Walkington Way, Langdon Drive and Station Road is deferred as they are access routes for construction of King Station subdivision; resurfacing them now would be a waste. Also, to stretch our budget dollars and yet address the need to restore the roads, all roads will not receive full treatment from curb to curb; in some cases the paving will be done on half the road.
