Project Summary
Project Name: Curb and sidewalk replacement – Helmcken-Eagle Creek Village to Burnside Rd 2-2-11101-310 CC1189 / 1-2-03310-630 CC 331-01
Project Number: C-054 Financial Plan: 2024 – 2028 Priority: Optimal
Submitted by: Ivan Leung, Director of Engineering
Executive Summary
This project was included in the 2022-2026 Financial Plan. Carried over from 2023 to time with the 3 Helmcken frontage works. Asphalt curb was installed along Helmcken in 1990’s. The curb has degraded and is ready for replacement. Surrounding developments have been required to install concrete curb, gutter and sidewalk. This section of infill would complete the north side of Helmcken from Burnside Rd W to Watkiss and could tie in with the 3 Helmcken development frontage works.
Business problem and opportunity
The 3 Helmcken development is expected to complete their frontage works in 2024/2025. Installing these sidewalks simultaneously or in partnership with this development could reduce future construction disruption while also closing the gap in concrete sidewalks from Burnside Road to Watkiss Way. Doing so increases safety for pedestrians and cyclists while also reduces costs for mobilization / demobilization and traffic control works.
The FY1 costs are based on Dec. 18, 2023 cost estimates by the Engineering consultant, and includes inspection, contract administration (for partnering with the development work) and contingency.
Proposed project objectives
The project should be completed during 3 Helmcken’s development’s off-site construction to minimize construction disruption of traffic.
Business risks
Budget has been increased to reflect current unit rates
Proposed sources of funding
Capital: DCCs up to $23,206, Casino revenue Operational: Taxation
