University Avenue West Reconstruction
The City of Guelph will be proceeding with the reconstruction of University Avenue West (from College Avenue to Gordon Street). Reconstruction will include the replacement of underground utilities and surface works including sanitary sewers, storm sewers, watermains, services to property line, asphalt, curbs, sidewalks and other miscellaneous works.
The project is needed to replace underground infrastructure at the end of its service life, enhance accessible travel by replacing existing sidewalk with wider sidewalk and infilling the new sidewalk, and to address drainage challenges and better align to with the City’s Master plans.
