Ripon Road Temporary Stockpile
April 30, 2025 -- A new temporary soil stockpile location is needed to accommodate archaeological screening of soils identified along Beach Drive. The Ripon Road cul-de-sac has been identified as a preferred location, approved by the province.
This stockpile is expected to be in place, starting May 1, for six to eight weeks (dependent on finds). Measures will be taken by the contractor to limit environmental impacts including dust and runoff.
- Access will be maintained for local resident traffic, driveway access only.
- Access to the Yacht Club will not be impacted.
We thank you for your understanding with this needed location during the project.
Construction Impacts
All work will be within the road right-of-way. Typical hours of work expected are from Monday to Friday between 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
- Traffic control services and signage will be implemented to assist residents, pedestrians, cyclists, and local traffic to homes and businesses. Traffic control is in place for the safety of everyone and is to be obeyed.
- Local access will be maintained throughout the project.
- Single lane alternating traffic is expected, but full road closures can also be expected.
- Delays along Midland Road with traffic detoured using Beach Drive and Lansdowne Road.
- The gravel area at Cattle Point will be closed to the public.
There is potential for driveways to be inaccessible for short periods of time.The contractor will notify residents in advance and will accommodate any special access requirements.Waste collection services, recycling, Canada Post and other delivery / pickup services will not be disrupted.BC Transit stops have the potential to be relocated or closed, please refer to the BC Transit website for updates.
Residents can expect an increase in noise, dust, street parking, and the movement of construction vehicles.The breaking of bedrock for the installation of the storm and water main is necessary, and residents should be aware that the removal will take time and will generate noise.
Disturbance to water or sewer services is not expected. Residents will be notified a minimum of 24 hours before any planned disruptions.
