Both the committee and council meetings will resume tonight at City Hall after a four-week break.
It looks as though the City of North Bay is ready to proceed with infrastructure improvements on Cassells Street.
Staff is recommending that City Council approves the award of a contract to C.C. Tatham & Associates Ltd. in the amount of $387,400.00 (plus HST) for consulting services for the Cassells Street Reconstruction project.
Included in the Report to Council is an environmental assessment that says existing traffic volumes have reached or exceeded the available road capacity of Cassells Street. “Any future traffic growth will exacerbate the existing conditions,” the report states.
The staff report notes the “City recognizes the need to provide improvements to resolve problems resulting from road structure inadequacies, corridor capacity deficiencies and unsafe conditions.”
While work is undertaken, staff says the opportunity presents to coordinate the replacement of underground water main, sanitary and storm sewers, the bridge over Chippewa Creek and rehabilitation of Chippewa Creek in the vicinity of Cassells Street.
