In Metro Vancouver, many municipal projects can continue throughout the winter months when temperatures are above zero. With the recent “Christmas freeze” gone, work is picking up on these projects again. One of the significant City projects is replacing the sanitary sewer under 200th Street. For the next two weeks, construction work will be moving south of 49th Avenue and include a section under Grade Crescent. Please expect delays.

The Glover Road Safer Cycling and Underground Utility Replacement Project has progressed despite the weather. Streets typically have two layers of asphalt. To ensure its long life, asphalt requires dry weather with temperatures above 12. The City’s contractor put the first layer down before the cold weather. The contractor will put the top layer on during the spring when it warms up.

Nathan, have you driven down Glover road Southbound just before Eastleigh Cres? The road abruptly jets in, it is a major safety hazard and one that the city should be fixing immediately. It is very hard to see at night and if there are 2 vehicles travelling together it is very dangerous.
