- Expect road closures, sidewalk detours, vibrations, noise and dust.
Sidewalk closuresThe construction phases in the subsequent weeks will have an impact on public access to businesses, especially for businesses without secondary access. Phases are separated by up to a week. This is the sequence for construction activity that will cause disruption:
- Removal of water connection point (only where applicable)
- Connections from building to storm sewer (only where applicable)
- Soil Cells (only where applicable)
- Landscaping (only where applicable)
- Construction of road base
- Installation of pavers
We are working with businesses without secondary access to plan work with minimal disruption, but since many neighbouring businesses have conflicting open hours, accommodation is not always possible.
Parkade closures With the parkades closing for at least the next month for the Bear Street Mall and the Town House Building, property owners and tenants seeking alternative parking options are to contact their building landlord to have Municipal Enforcement permit
registered vehicles to park in specified Town of Banff parking zones for longer than posted limits.
