Current projects

Expand the following projects below.


PROJECT SCOPE

The City of Kamloops has contracted Chandos Construction Ltd. and Yeti Refrigeration to build an extension to the Brocklehurst Arena and replace the existing ice plant. All work will be taking place at the northeastern corner of the arena, with materials and equipment using the back alley from Parkcrest Avenue for access.

We are advising residents in the area that crews will begin moving to site on Tuesday, November 12, and heavy equipment work will begin on November 19, 2024. Expected completion of the project is August 2025.

HOURS OF WORK

Construction is scheduled to occur Monday through Friday, 7:00 am–5:00 pm.

PROJECT BENEFIT

The project will seek to recycle waste heat from the ice plant into other building systems such as domestic hot water, snow melt, and pool heating.

This will reduce the building’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by up to 48%.

RESIDENT IMPACTS

During construction, dust control measures will be in place, as heavy vibratory equipment will be used. Residents are encouraged to pack up fragile items to protect them from damage due to vibration. Residents along the northern vicinity of the arena can expect heavy truck traffic and noise disruptions from construction equipment.

USER GROUP IMPACTS

There will be minimal impact to user groups. The ice will unavailable for 2-4 weeks near the end of construction in summer 2025.

Otherwise, arena and pool operations will be unaffected.

PROJECT SCOPE

The City of Kamloops has contracted Urban Appeal to replace the existing McGowan Park playground (phase one) to include accessible play features, shade structures, and accessible rubber surfacing. We are advising the community that phase one is scheduled from September 23 to November 29, 2024.


Phase two in will include the replacement of the current water park with a new recirculating system, new surfacing, and water features, and will occur from March to September 2025.

PHASE ONE IMPACTS

The playground, some adjacent green space, and a portion of the parking lot will be closed during phase one.

Access to the current water park, north field, Hal Rogers Activity Centre, public washrooms, Gambles Pond, and baseball diamonds will not be impacted during phase one.

PHASE TWO IMPACTS

The water park, some adjacent green space, and a portion of the parking lot will be closed during phase two.

Access to the north field, Hal Rogers Activity Centre, public washrooms, Gambles Pond, and baseball diamonds will not be impacted during phase two.

Access to the newly constructed playground will be via grass only during phase two, as the accessible pathway won’t reopen until the project is complete.

TRAFFIC IMPACTS

During construction of the watermain, minor traffic impacts may occur along south side of McGill road. Please obey all traffic control personnel and signage when travelling in the area.

PROPERTY IMPACTS

During construction, vibratory compaction equipment will be used; therefore, any fragile items should be packaged or protected from damage due to vibration. There may also be noise disruption due to equipment on site.

HOURS OF WORK

Work will begin the week of August 12, with completion anticipated in October.

Construction is scheduled to occur from 7:00 am–5:00 pm, with the possibility of some weekend work required.

PROJECT UPDATE FOR SEPTEMBER 3

Paving will begin on Pratt Road tomorrow, September 4, at 7 am until approximately 5 pm. Work will begin on the bottom of Pratt Road at Todd Road and run up to Ladner Road.

The work will affect vehicles exiting driveways onto Pratt Road. It is recommended you depart your house earlier for your work commute if possible as it may save you a slowdown as asphalt cools in front of each driveway. It may take 15-20 minutes for driveways to be useable once asphalt is poured.

Additionally, access down Pratt Road will be slower as the paver is large and will slow down vehicular movement at the bend above the pump house. Please be prepared for the extra time this work will create for commuters and emergency vehicles.

  • Removal of debris
  • Demobilization from site

Deconstruction will last until May 2024.

TRAFFIC AND TRANSIT IMPACTS

Traffic detours and curb lane closures will be in effect during demolition. Transit may be impacted.

BUSINESS IMPACTS

Throughout the demolition period, there will be noise and dust disruption due the nature of the work and the equipment on site. Vibratory compaction equipment will also be in use; therefore, any fragile items should be packaged or protected from damage due to vibration. Truck traffic to and from the site will be heaviest towards the latter stages of the project when material is leaving the site.

Fences are expected to go up around the property in late March. For the first four months all work will be contained on site. Security will remain on premises to ensure no one enters the building during the abatement process. This building contains hazardous materials, such as asbestos, and while this work poses no health risk to anyone outside the building, proper precautions need to be taken inside. The contractor will erect fences to delineate their work zone and is important that the public respects that boundary.

Throughout the construction period, vibratory compaction equipment may be in use; therefore, any fragile items should be packaged or protected from damage due to vibration. There may also be noise disruption due to equipment on site.

Garbage collection will not be affected

This project will also include new concrete barrier curb and gutter, as well as catch basin installs, patch paving, and boulevard restoration.

HOURS OF WORK

Residents are being informed that the project will begin on May 27, 2024, with anticipated completion in mid-July 2024.

Construction is scheduled to occur Monday through Friday, 7:00 am–5:30 pm, with possible weekend work required.

RESIDENT IMPACTS

During the project, approximately 2-2.5 meters of boulevard width or driveway length will be reduced on the north side of Sydney Avenue to allow for construction of the sidewalk. Boulevard and driveway regrading may be required and may extend into your property for a short distance. Advanced notice to impacted properties will be provided.

Throughout the construction period, vibratory compaction equipment may be in use; therefore, any fragile items should be packaged or protected from damage due to vibration.

Garbage collection will not be affected.

Upon completion of the project, boulevard and on-street parking will no longer be permitted on the north side of Sydney Avenue between Jasper Avenue and Schubert Drive.
