Curbs and Sidewalks to be Installed Monday September 20th Caplin Road

/in ,

An important notice that the construction work on Caplin Road will begin the installation of concrete curb and concrete sidewalks as of Monday September 20th, 2021. To complete the preparation and installation of curbs and sidewalks, residents along Caplin Road will temporarily lose access to their driveways.

We ask that all residents on Caplin Road to follow these directions:

  1. Between the hours of 7:00 AM – 7:00 PM during the week, all vehicles must be out of their driveway and parked anywhere else than on Caplin Road. Possible parking locations include all side streets along Caplin Road.
  2. Between the hours of 7:00 PM to 7:00 AM, vehicles can be parked on the West side of Caplin Road along the shoulder/concrete curb.

We understand this will be an inconvenience and we appreciate the patience of the residents of Caplin Road. Having a clear path without any vehicles on Caplin Road will accelerate the curb and sidewalk installation and reduce the amount of time that the construction will affect residents.

Please note that any vehicles that are not moved prior during installation may be stuck up to 5 days until the concrete has cured as required.

An Englobe employee will be always on site to coordinate with homeowners and answer questions. Any special requirements should be communicated to Englobe Employee Stephane Landry at 1-506-260-5095. We will update information once construction activities have concluded and driveway access is no longer impeded.

Access will be restricted to the Alaqsite’w Gitpu School on Thursday September 30th, 2021 to Friday October 1st, 2021 only. For all other days, both access points at AGS will be accessible to all vehicles.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us at the numbers below.

Sincerely,

Listuguj Mi’gmaq Government
