The project is now substantially complete and operational.  Grass is growing in the stormwater basin in York Commons Park and the sluice gate is functional.  The project came in under budget and was completed on time.

Over the past few weeks on Crescent Avenue, the contractor has completed the storm sewer installation, installed new curb and sidewalk, and resurfaced the roadway.  The storm sewer work included connecting the new relief storm sewer on Crescent Avenue under the CN Railroad tracks and to the new detention basin within the western portion of York Commons Park (YCP).  At YCP the basin is now online and will take stormwater from Crescent Avenue if a major storm event occurs.  The sluice gate is being fabricated and slated for delivery and installation in late January 2017.  Excavation of the detention basin is nearly complete and once done the final restoration including topsoil, seed, and blanket will occur in early Spring 2017.
