North Street Reconstruction

Project description

The Municipality of Clarington is reconstructing North Street between Wilmot street and Grady Drive to make some urbanized improvements. Residents will see a new sidewalk, new road base, curbs, asphalt surface, and lighting improvements along with some additional work.

Project details include:

Reconstruction of road including addition of curbs and a sidewalk, while maintaining the existing road width
Replacement of water main and sanitary sewer
Addition of storm sewers to improve road drainage
Driveway culvert replacements and or removal and box culvert replacements
Landscape and street light improvements

Project background

Sanitary sewers and water main services are being replaced on North Street from Wilmot Street to north of the CP railway to accommodate the future development and approved draft plan envisioned within the existing upstream urban area referred to as the North Village Secondary Plan Area.

The Municipality is coordinating with the developers to include improvements to North Street between Wilmot Street and Grady Drive. These roadway improvements include addressing road drainage issues, adding a storm sewer and catch basins, replacing driveway culverts that are in poor condition, constructing a sidewalk and improving street lighting.

The Municipality of Clarington and the Region of Durham will be entering into cost sharing agreements to coordinate the improvements to North Street as part of the subdivision servicing contract. The projects are being coordinated to minimize disruption from future construction and to save costs that would arise from carrying out the necessary works at later dates. The proposed improvements to North Street were budgeted for in Clarington’s 2018 and 2019 Capital Budgets.
