About This Project
The City of London is preparing to begin construction on Hammond Crescent from Hastings Drive to Hastings Drive in spring 2024 to replace aging underground infrastructure that has exceeded its expected lifecycle. The project will replace the existing watermain with a new watermain and install new sidewalk.
This project includes:
Removing the current road surface, curbs and gutters
Replacing watermain
Adding new granular sub-layer, base granular, and asphalt
Adding new curbs, sidewalks catch basins, and gutters
Boulevard restoration (adding new topsoil and sod)
Tree removals
Construction is expected to start in spring 2024 and is anticipated to last until fall 2024, with some minor clean-up work in spring 2025.
Sidewalk considerations
The City of London is committed to providing safe, convenient, and accessible mobility choices for all residents. The City’s official plan, “The London Plan”, states sidewalks should be installed on both sides of most streets, which is standard for many Ontario municipalities.
As part of this commitment, when infrastructure renewal projects are planned for streets where sidewalks do not already exist, new sidewalk is added to at least one side of the street to improve overall pedestrian connectivity within the neighbourhood.
City staff recognizes residents are concerned about the impacts associated with new sidewalks, including include impacts to trees, driveways, and landscaping. Every effort is made to design projects in a way that minimizes the impacts of adding new sidewalk to a neighbourhood; however, it is not possible to eliminate impacts entirely.
