Fairview Road – Kootenay to Gala Streets – as well Spartan Street sidewalk improvements

UPGRADES AND NEW INSTALLATIONS OF SIDEWALK, STORM AND ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE

The Town of Oliver has awarded the project to reconstruct, upgrade and pave a portion of Fairview Road between Main Street and Nicola Street to Mike Johnson Excavating Ltd. The project includes constructing a new sidewalk, curb and storm on Spartan Street between Fairview Road and Rockcliffe Road.
There will be times that residents and businesses will not have vehicular access to their property from Fairview Road due to temporary shut downs, but back alley access behind the properties will still be available at all times.
During most of the project there will be access to businesses on the north side of Fairview Road; the west bound lane will be open with access to parking stalls. Mike Johnson Excavating Ltd. will do their best to notify businesses and residents in advance and to keep these interruptions as short as possible. The south side properties of Fairview Road will be affected the most during construction, but will have back alley access for the duration of the project.
