Colborne Street Reconstruction Update
The construction in Downtown Fenelon Falls is well underway, and we know, it isn't the prettiest or most convenient scenario at the moment. With that said, the end results are going to be beautiful and functional, giving the downtown a well deserved facelift.
Some items to look forward to:
The new design will improve pedestrian traffic flow and safety.
The project will include full Road Reconstruction and Streetscape Improvements.
Design will improve underground infrastructure, vehicular traffic flow, and queuing at intersections.
An area that is to contain street furniture, trees and other fixed objects, meant to provide a buffer between pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
Exciting New Streetscape Improvements:
Beautiful new interlocking pavers
Dual Litter Receptacle
Removable Planter
Bicycle Rack
Bench
Tree Pit/Tree
Street Light and Banner
Stamped Asphalt
Tactile Warning Surface Indicator
The design also includes Curb Bump Outs which increase pedestrian space at the intersection, are effective traffic calming measures, and protect parked vehicles.
The end results are going to be a fresh new look and feel for downtown, that is beneficial to businsses, pedestrians and traffic alike. If you are downtown in the meantime, try and remember how great the end result is going to be, an AMAZING new space for us all to enjoy.
