The City is working with J.L. Richards & Associates Limited to explore options to repair or replace the retaining wall located near the Clara Street pedestrian access. The most recent inspection of the retaining wall showed signs of further decline. Barriers have been placed along the wall from 112 to 172 Grove Street as a safety measure and to reduce the risk of further wall damage that could impact traffic lanes in the area.
Parking
The safety measures put in place have reduced the amount of on-street parking on the north side of the street. Parking on the south side of the street is available to replace the parking spots on the north side.
Schedule
Construction will take place over several phases:
- Phase 1 is the pre-design work scheduled to commence in 2023
- Phase 2 is the detailed design set for 2024
- Phase 3 is for construction with an anticipated start in 2025
Budget
Funds have been allocated to cover the first phase of this project scheduled for 2023. Costs associated with the second third phases of this project will be considered during the City’s multi-year budget process.
