The City of Timmins Environmental Services Department wishes to advise the public of a water main valve replacement, which will cause a temporary water service disruption, in the following area:

Area:
The Gold Centre Area in Schumacher affecting:
• Croatia Ave. from Ponderossa St. to Delost St., Claimpost Trail, Brundy Ave., Ennis St., Miners Ave., Delost Ave., Prospector’s St.

Date & Time of Disruption:
• November 25, 2024 – 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM

Homeowners and/or businesses within the area might experience water service disruptions which can include but not limited to no water, low pressure and/or discoloured water. It is recommended not to drink or wash laundry with discoloured water. While it is not harmful to your health, it can stain laundry. Should the water be discoloured, it is advised to turn on the COLD water tap closest to the source (usually your laundry tub tap) and let it run for approximately 15-20 minutes or until the water colour has returned to normal.

Road closure within this area might last longer than the estimated date and time of disruption once the repair is made.

City staff would like to thank residents for their patience and cooperation during this work.

Algonquin Blvd. is scheduled to re-open to traffic between Cedar St. and Brunette Rd. on Thursday, November 21, 2024.

This week, contractors will finish temporary line painting and begin turning on the traffic signals between Cedar St. and Brunette Rd., including the new traffic light and crossing on Algonquin Blvd. adjacent to Hollinger Park. The new traffic light for pedestrians and snowmobiles will add another stop along Algonquin Blvd. to allow for safe passage and access to service stations from one side of Algonquin to the other, particularly for snowmobiles accessing the trail network. This is a timed light with a standard green, yellow, and red sequence. Traffic will be stopped for three situations: on-demand pedestrian crossing, on-demand snowmobile crossing (seasonal only), and timed for left-turns exiting KFC.

Starting today (November 18), crews will begin to remove the temporary traffic controls (traffic lights) at Brunette Rd./Second Ave. and Second Ave./Mountjoy St. S. Over the next 3 days, the temporary stop signs on Sixth Ave. (east-west traffic) will be removed. The traffic lights in the downtown core will return to signaled lights on weekdays between 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Temporary speed limits on Airport Rd. from Laforest Rd. through the area of the Kraft Creek Bridge (approximately 1.25 km's) will be removed.

The temporary heavy commercial truck traffic detour will end once Algonquin Blvd. re-opens.

Timmins Transit’s Route 16 stop at Park Road Square will resume once Algonquin Blvd. is open.

Reminder: The stop sign on Pine St. N. at Sixth Ave. is now a permanent 4-way stop.

Once the detours are removed and the road is open, please use extra caution when driving. Obey all posted traffic signage. Be patient with other drivers as we re-learn the original routes.

Thank you for your continued patience as we’ve navigated 7 months of construction. This section completes all three downtown segments.

The Archie Dillon Sportsplex Pool will begin resuming services on Monday, November 18, 2024.

“We understand that the pool’s closure has been frustrating for both residents and athletes who rely on access to the pool for fitness and training,” said Steph Palmateer, City Clerk and Director of Community Services. “The repairs were critical to safe operation of the pool, and we appreciate the continued patience of the community as we’ve worked to get the pool open.”
