Poplar Crescent

Hello residents of Poplar Crescent

The full closure of Henderson Drive has begun and the sewers that were installed under Poplar Crescent are now being connected to the sewers under Henderson Drive. We anticipate that the last day of the closure will be November 1st.

The homes on the north/south leg of Poplar Crescent have all been fully connected to the new sewers. Congestion will reduce significantly in the highlighted area. We really appreciate everyone's cooperation and patience.

The work to fully connect the homes on the east/west leg will commence next week. Houses 76 to 70 are all connected to 1 large water service, 1 large sanitary service and 1 large storm water service. Replacing these services is much faster than replacing multiple services for each home.

On Monday, October 28th work will begin at intersection #5. All of the homes in the cul-de-sac connect to a single storm, sanitary and water service. Again, a single connection makes things much faster. However there will be a lot of congestion at the intersection of the cul-de-sac and Poplar Crescent. Those who live in houses 2 - 32 are being asked to please park in the LCBO plaza if possible. Access to the cul-de-sac will not be fully blocked but there will be congestion.

Once this work is done the crew will move to install the same services at the next cul-de-sac which is intersection #4 on the map.

By the first week of November the only underground work that will remain is the new watermain on the east/west leg. This work is expected to take about 1 week to finish.

Once this work is done new street lights will be installed and then the road building will begin. By mid December we anticipate that all of the new sidewalk and curbs will be installed and the base asphalt will be paved.

We will come back in 2025 to fix any areas that settle in the road and then we will pave the final top course of asphalt.

We appreciate everyone's patience. Your cooperation has allowed the contractor to work as quickly as possible. We apologize for all of the water shutoffs that have occurred without notice. The watermain is very old and brittle and it has been bursting in random locations.

I am very confident that everyone will be pleased when they come home everyday to a brand new neighborhood with new grass, sidewalks and asphalt.

I hope everyone has a nice weekend.

Thank you

The mainline sewers have been installed on the North/South leg of the Poplar Crescent. This is a milestone for the project. The remaining work on this section includes connecting the homes to the new sewers and installing the watermain. Once these 2 tasks are complete the road will be paved after new curbs and sidewalks are installed.

Work has begun on the East/West leg of Poplar Crescent. We started at the top of the Crescent where we started the first section and now we are working East towards the plaza. We are currently installing the main sewers in the road. Once the main sewers are complete the watermain will be installed, then sidewalk and curb and then paving.

We are aiming to complete the project before the end of the year.

The Town and Trisan Construction and very grateful for everyone's patience and cooperation.

The contractor is progressing towards Henderson Drive. We are anticipating that they will reach Henderson by the end of this week (August 16th)

The Town of Aurora has reached an agreement with the Condo Board of YNCC#2 to allow Trisan Construction to build a temporary parking lot while the parking lot beside the pool is inaccessible. This parking lot can also be used by YNCC#2 residents when their driveway is blocked.

This area will be restored before the end of the project.

We have finished the work by the creek and now we are making our way from the parking lot up to Henderson Drive.

There will be driveway interruptions as we move south. Please contact Steven if you have any questions.

The oil and grit separator cleans the storm water before the water enters the creek. It's 6m tall and 3m wide. This is a picture of the base that we installed on Tuesday July 9th

We have started working between Work Zone 3 and 4 in the corner next to the parking lot. We should be here until July 19th. Once we are done we will proceed to Work Zone 3, then Work Zone 2 then Work Zone 1. We are installing the storm and sanitary sewers now. We will be doing the watermain afterwards.

The first step to rehabilitating a community is to protect the environment. 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.
