Barker Street and Bowery Street reconstruction update
The municipality intends to reconstruct Barker Street from Downes Avenue to Johnson Street, and Bowery Street from Barker Street to King Street. Click here to learn more about the project.
To ensure the best possible outcome for this project, municipal staff determined that more soil and groundwater studies were required.
As a result, construction on Bowery Street will begin in 2027 rather than fall 2026. The Barker Street construction schedule remains the same with work taking place in 2027.
Once a contractor has been awarded the project, the County will host another Public Information Centre to introduce the contractor, provide an updated construction schedule, and share further project details.
