Manitou Road SE - Local Drainage Improvement Project
As part of The City’s Local Drainage Improvements (LDI) Program, we will be working in your area to improve the stormwater system to alleviate excessive pooling and flooding that can happen. This work includes installing storm pipes, storm drains (or catch basins), and upgrading existing catch basins and connecting pipes to increase the flow of stormwater into the system.
Project Details
At Manitou Road S.E., during small to medium-sized storms, flooding and pooling are common. This work will upgrade the existing storm infrastructure and raising driveways to reduce the ponding and flooding issues (see figure 1 below).
The City will need to raise the driveway entrances of the following locations on Manitou Road S.E. It will take approximately two to three days to regrade each driveway. A City representative will follow up with property owners at least two weeks before the start of construction as access to the loading dock and parking lot will be impacted.
315 Manitou Road S.E.
415 Manitou Road S.E.
419-429 Manitou Road S.E.
431-439 Manitou Road S.E.
519-537 Manitou Road S.E.
The City will also be installing signage at this location to caution road users and pedestrians regarding the water ponding that can occur during heavy rainfall events.
Project Timeline
Construction will start in early October and will take approximately four weeks to complete.
Construction Impacts
There will be parking restrictions in the work area while crews are working.
The shared driveway between 315 Manitou Road SE and 415 Manitou Road SE shall remain partially open to both vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
Sidewalk will remain open when crews are working and there will be fencing around the work area.
Construction is weather dependent, and timelines may change due to weather, underground conditions and/or other unexpected circumstances.
There will be signage in the area before crews start work so customers, and employees are aware of the work we are doing.
There will be noise and vibration because of the construction on Manitou Road S.E. and we thank you for your patience as we complete this work.
