Construction season brings lane reductions and closures to Alliston
Residents in Alliston will have to pack their patience as work gets underway on a project that means disruptions this summer.
The Town of New Tecumseth is replacing the sanitary sewer on Victoria Street East, between McDonald and Boyne Streets, starting next week on July 2.
Traffic Woes
During the day, the Town says traffic will be reduced to one lane with temporary traffic lights in place. At night, the road will reopen to two-way traffic.
It's important to note, traffic lights on Victoria and Boyne Streets will be out of operation during the construction.
Due to the road work, McDonald Street will be temporarily closed until August 1.
Driveway Access
The Town says access to driveways inside the work zone may be disrupted at times, but construction crews will work to minimize the inconvenience.
Residents requiring special accommodations that could be impacted by the driveway access interruptions are encouraged to contact the Town Project Manager.
Curbside Collection
Residents should place their waste and recycling bins, clearly labelled with the property address, at the end of their driveway before 7 a.m. on their collection day. The Town says road crews will relocate the bins so they can be accessed by waste collection crews.
Service Interruptions
Services, such as phone, cable TV and gas shouldn't be affected by the road work, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Town says. If there are expected disruptions, residents will receive proper notice.
The sewer replacement and repaving of the road is expected to be completed by August 1.

City trimming about 10,000 trees a year in maintenance program
The City of Windsor is releasing results of its proactive tree maintenance program to maintain a healthy and safe urban forest. With about 70,000 street trees across the city, the Forestry and Natural Areas team, led by city forester and manager Dr. Yemi Adeyeye, is working diligently to ensure the long-term health and safety of Windsor's tree canopy. 'To keep trees in good condition and reduce the risk of falling limbs, we've created a preventative tree maintenance program,' says Dr. Adeyeye. 'Under this program, we have a seven-year trimming cycle that means we're proactively trimming back about 10,000 trees each year.' In addition to city crews, four certified tree care contractors are engaged to carry out this work, all adhering to rigorous arboriculture (tree care) standards. These standards include removal of deadwoods, crossing limbs (up to four inches in diameter, which may be exceeded when necessary to improve tree shape or meet clearance requirements) and the promotion of healthy branching structure in each tree's canopy. Specific clearance guidelines are also followed over roads, sidewalks, driveways and homes, as follows: Clearance over curb: 450 centimetres (14 to 15 feet) Clearance over lawn: 240 centimetres (8 feet) Clearance over roofs: 300 centimetres (10 feet) Clearance over driveway: 300 centimetres (10 feet) Clearance around traffic signs: 60 centimetres (2 feet) Clearance around streetlight cables: 60 centimetres (2 feet) Clearance of streetlights for 45-degree-angle light pattern The seven-year tree trimming program started in 2021. The city also continues to respond to emergency and urgent requests for tree services as required. Residents with questions regarding the tree maintenance program or other forestry-related matters are encouraged to contact 311 or contact the forestry department at Forestry@ by email.
