Advisory: Construction on Balmoral Avenue from Donovan Drive to Torrence Road

Construction of the sewer forcemain continues along Balmoral Avenue. The trenching has now approached Donovan Drive.

Donovan Drive will no longer be accessible from Balmoral Avenue. Please be advised that Donovan Drive is not a detour route.

If coming from Hawkins Road or Croteau Road, please use Torrence Road, up to Noel Avenue as the detour route to access Pritchard Road and the downtown area for the Town of Comox.

Signage and traffic control personnel will be in place to help direct traffic.

Please allow extra time for commuting and follow posted speed limits.

Pedestrian access to residences will be maintained. Emergency vehicle access permitted at all times.

Wacor will be communicating directly with residents regarding driveway access.

Please follow these procedures to ensure uninterrupted services of waste collection during construction:

Clear Labeling: To facilitate smooth handling and return of bins, please ensure that all bins are clearly labeled with your home address. All bins have a space on the front for the address to be written in with permanent marker.

Placement of Waste Bins: During periods when roads are fully closed, residents are required to place their garbage bins along the curb by 7:00 am on scheduled pickup days. Note that this time is earlier than the usual curbside time of 8:00 am.

Collection by Crews: Contractor crews will retrieve the bins placed along the curb and bring them to a central location outside the road closure area for collection by the waste management trucks.

Return of Bins: Following collection, bins will be returned to their respective homes by the end of the day.

We appreciate the cooperation and support of residents as we work to complete this important project.
