FAQs

• Improves access around our community for vehicles and pedestrians
• Improves safety with new offset sidewalks, new traffic signals, median islands, lane configuration, street lighting, and improved bus stops
• Makes our streets and communities greener (street trees, rainwater retention trenches and rain gardens)

Driveway accesses will be impacted during the placement of new sidewalk and asphalt.  These driveway closures will be short in duration and the contractor will allow access as soon as it is safe to do so. All residents will be informed of the paving schedule in advance to minimize the inconvenience to residents.

In order to minimize traffic disruption, the asphalt overlay works will be undertaken during the overnight hours when traffic is minimal.  Noise from the repaving works is anticipated to be minimal with the back-up truck beepers being the largest generator of noise.  A notice to residents will be provided ahead of any night work to advise nearby residents of the upcoming construction works and schedule.

If you've noticed an increase in short-cutting traffic through your neighborhood due to construction on 72 Avenue, please contact Delta staff to request temporary traffic calming measures in your area.
