Please be advised that Church Street will be one-way for local traffic and buses from Victoria Street to Yonge Street starting October 17 to November 4. Traffic cones and signage are installed to direct pedestrians around the area. Please cross at designated crosswalks, use caution, and stay alert walking near the construction zone.

Please note that access to the Aurora Public Library Church Street entrance, including the return drop off and pick up window, may be restricted during construction. The Library will extend loan periods during the Church Street work to ensure customers are not inconvenienced.

The steel trusses for the bridge have arrived! The bridge will connect the Aurora Public Library to the new community space and the Aurora Museum and Cultural Centre. This is another exciting step in the construction of Aurora Town Square!

Please be advised that Aurora Town Square construction will take place on Saturday, May 14. Due to the nature of this work, there is a potential for dust and construction-related noise from equipment and trucks. The public is encouraged to use caution in this area. Please cross at designated crosswalks, follow posted signs, and be alert when walking near the construction zone.

The 130 ft tower crane has been dismantled, signifying a new phase in the construction of Aurora Town Square.
