Caron Street project on time and on budget
GREGG CHAMBERLAIN gregg.chamberlain@eap.on.ca
“unless there are big surprises, the project will come in under budget.” Once completed, the Caron Street exten- sion will include a new traffic light-control- led intersection connection with County Road 17 to its original beginning at Laurier Street.That intersection has an amber traffic light and stop sign for limited traffic control. The final upgrade of that intersection will also include a new fully-automatic traffic- control light setup. The work on the rest of Caron Street, from the intersection at David Street down to Lau- rier, is almost finished, including newmiddle turning lanes for several of the intersections. During theWednesday evening information session, several residents noted that the turning lane setup is still too tight for school buses to use with real safety at some of the intersection points betweenDavid Street and Laurier Street. Campeau said city staff and designers will look at those points again and see what can be done to make them better.
Thunder boomed overhead and a rain storm hammered on the roof of the Opti- miste Performance Hall as dozens of resi- dents of the Caron Street neighbourhood gathered for an update on the state of the road’s reconstruction.The good news they got fromClarence-Rockland city staff is that all the dust, noise and disturbance on the Caron Street Extension Project should be settled by the end of the year. “They should (all) be done by the first snowfall,” said Richard Campeau, citymana- ger for technical services, infrastructure and engineering, during themeeting. He added that it would include all of the paving and installation of street lights along the length of new extended Caron Street. The projected budget for the Caron Street extension was about $13.7 million. Helen Collier, city chief administrator, reported that
