Trailways throughout Centennial Park
Notice date: April 5, 2024
About the project
The City is working with Communications and Cabling Contractors to install underground conduit and fibre optic cable within the Centennial Park Area, connecting between Municipal Street and the Soccer Dome/Centennial Arena. The underground conduit installation will largely follow the path of the trailways within this area.
Work begins April 10
Work is expected to start on or about Wednesday April 10 and take approximately three weeks to complete, weather permitting.
Pedestrian access
There will be no trailway closures during this work. There will be equipment placed along the side of the trail throughout the timeframe but pedestrian access will not be disturbed.
For about a two day period within the overall three week period, there will be a closure to the sidewalk on the west side of Edinburgh Road at Edinburgh and Forest Street. Pedestrians will need to cross at the nearby intersections, either at Municipal & Edinburgh or at the southwest side of the Edinburgh & Forest intersection to access the east side of Edinburgh Road.
Environmental Considerations
There will be no negative impact to trees within Centennial Park throughout this work.
Sports field Considerations
There will be no change or impact to the baseball and soccer fields in this area. Any work neighboring the sports fields will be complete prior to the fields opening in early May.
Guelph Transit
There are no transit routes impacted by this work.
City services
There will be no interruption to any City services during construction. Waste collection will not be affected. Please continue to place your green, blue and grey carts at the curb, as per your regular schedule.
