7th Street Redevelopment
June 7, 2017
As part of our annual roads and utilities works program, the City of Fernie will be redeveloping 7 Street from Highway 3 to 2 Avenue. The works will be constructed by BA Blacktop and Bob Mitchell Excavating and will commence on June 12th and continue until approximately September 15th.
To ensure public safety, the road will be periodically closed to general traffic. Through traffic will be maintained for emergency vehicles where possible. Detour routes will be in place. Residential street parking during this time will be restricted to the adjacent avenues and lanes. Please obey posted construction signage and barricades.
Curbside waste removal services during this time will occur from the avenues and lanes. Please refrain from placing waste receptacles on 7 Street for curbside pickup.
The redeveloped roadway features:
- Concrete sidewalk on one side
- Concrete curb and gutter
- New roadway pavement
- Improved roadway drainage
- Gravel parking lane on north side
- Utility poles located off the road
During winter months (mid-November to mid-April), on-street parking will be prohibited to allow for safe passage of two-way traffic.
Residential on-street parking will be available on the adjacent avenues and lanes. Additionally, parking on the 7 Street gravel parking lane will be available for residents who wish to dig-in and maintain specific spots.
