About this project
The City of London is planning a construction project in your area to reconstruct Scott Street in 2024 to replace aging underground infrastructure that has exceeded its expected lifecycle. The project will replace the existing watermain, storm and sanitary sewer, sidewalk and include the addition of new sidewalks.
This project includes:
Watermain replacement
Sanitary sewer replacement
Storm sewer replacement
Private drain connection renewals
Streetscape improvements
Tree removals
On-street parking adjustments
Tree replacement
Sidewalk replacement
Concrete curb
New asphalt road surface
Construction started in summer 2024 until approximately fall 2024, with some minor clean-up work and surface asphalt in spring 2025. Work is planned on Scott Street between Spruce Street and Vancouver Street.
Scott Street Public update meeting
The City of London hosted a public update meeting on Tuesday, March 19, 2024, at the East Lions Community Centre to provide an update on the project and share information on construction.
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.
