Old Lynchburg Road Safety, Sidewalks and Drainage Update

Hello everyone,

Here’s an update on the recent work done on the site.

Additional landscaping work was provided at the bio-retention filter area, additional site clean-up work was provided along the corridor, lawns were cleared of any remaining debris, old straw removed, additional topsoil placed, hydro-seeded and a light straw covering placed back , were growth was slow. The remaining black silt fence will be removed once the grass has taken hold in those recently seeded areas. The need for partial street closures are not anticipated at this point and normal traffic flows have resumed. Information for the proposed trees along the wider sections of OLR right of way has been collected and a separate contract will be established for the installation phase later this fall.

Best,

Tony Edwards

City Engineer, CFM
