Memorial and Hirst Avenues Project Update

Wednesday, May 11

Paving work started as planned early yesterday morning, with Hirst Avenue West (Hirst) from McMillan Street South to the Alberni Highway receiving its final pavement layer. Road markings have also been installed on this newly paved section of Hirst.

Unfortunately, due to a mechanical breakdown, the four-way stop installation and paving on the Alberni Highway at Hirst Avenue West will have to wait. We’ve tentatively scheduled this work near the end of May pending cooperative weather conditions.

Crews are also taking advantage of good weather whenever possible, including over weekends, to pour more concrete in the new Memorial Plaza and along Memorial Avenue sidewalks. After one of the rainiest Aprils on City record, the project team has been working hard to install concrete at every opportunity. The concrete works include patterned concrete panels and concrete benches, which reflect the organic shapes of the 100-year-old memorial trees. Memorial Plaza is really starting to take shape!
