Construction on new Aurora Public Library entrance begins

Starting Tuesday October 27th, crews will undertake demolition work to the Yonge St. entrance of the Aurora Public Library. There will be closures along Yonge Street as well as parking restrictions in the area. Please exercise caution when walking in the area as there will be sidewalk detours. Stay alert and be safe.

What you need to know:

  • Northbound Yonge St. will be reduced to one lane between Church St. and Mosley St.
  • Concrete barriers and fencing will be in place on Yonge St. and signage will guide pedestrians around the work area. Hoarding will also be erected at the Library's main entrance to protect patrons from construction.
  • Reduction of Aurora Public Library parking in the east-side lot to 17 parking spaces, including 1 accessible parking space. The east-side Library entrance will also be closed off at this time.
  • An additional accessible entrance will be created on the north side of the Library, which patrons will be able to access from Yonge St. only.
  • Installation of construction fencing at the commercial property located at 15157 Yonge St. with impacts to customer parking availability.
  • Removal of various trees around the perimeter of the construction site, some of which are non-native invasive species. All trees slated to be removed will be replaced with new ones as part of landscaping work to take place during the latter stages of construction.

Parking Restrictions:

Patrons will have ongoing access to the Aurora Public Library for In-Library pickup, however, some parking restrictions within the vicinity are unavoidable as Library Square construction continues. As such, residents, businesses and visitors should make use of all available on and off-street public parking in the downtown area. As you navigate this area, we encourage everyone to cross at designated crosswalks, follow posted signs, and remain aware of any construction taking place.
