Poplar Crescent
Poplar Crescent is getting a makeover!
The Poplar Crescent community was constructed in the early 1970’s, making it over 50 years old. The time has come for the infrastructure to be replaced. This includes the sewers, road, sidewalks and curbs. Replacing infrastructure in an active community is always a challenge- but one that Town of Aurora’s Contract Administrators and Municipal Engineers tackle on an annual basis, all over Aurora. Our team is excited to take on this challenge that we’ve been planning for the past 5 years.

Tree protection and silt fence are being installed throughout the project today.
After the long weekend, Trisan Construction will start working on the storm sewers. They are going to start in the north west corner of Poplar Crescent by the pool parking lot. While they are working in this area access to the parking lot will be limited and at times it will be inaccessible.
The Town of Aurora has made an agreement with the condo board to install a temporary parking lot off Henderson Drive. Stay tuned for more details on the parking lot and the construction schedule.

Summer/Fall 2025- Return to Pave Top Asphalt
Poplar Crescent is currently at this stageA second layer of asphalt is typically placed a year after the first layer, in case there are any defects in the first layer of asphalt, such as settlement. This allows us time to identify any defects and correct them before the second layer (top course) of asphalt is placed.
