Weather conditions and mechanical issues play a major role in how quickly Public Works can complete the sweeping operations. Heavy rain and subzero temperatures will halt operations.

Public Works would like to remind residents that yellow No Parking Signs will be posted to notify that Spring Maintenance will be taking place for daytime operations. Vehicles not complying with these No Parking signs will be ticketed and towed to allow for Street Sweeping Crew to advance.

Day Operation:

Street Sweeping is never done in the area where Sanitation is taken place.

Please be advised that Riverside Dr. between Shirley St. and Government Rd. has now been reduced to one lane in each direction, with traffic moved to the outside curb lanes while contractors begin work on Segment 2 of the Connecting Link.

In Segment 2 of the Connecting Link, work will be completed west of the Shirley St. intersection to Government Rd. In addition to stripping existing pavement, grading and compacting the base, and re-applying a fresh layer of asphalt, work will include installation of a cement sidewalk between Shirley St. and the Government Rd. intersection.

All access points and entries to roads and businesses along Riverside Dr. will be maintained throughout construction.
Motorists can expect delays and traffic congestion. Commercial vehicle trucks will still use the Shirley St. turn to connect with the standard truck detour along Laforest Rd. Some pavement milling in the outside curb lanes will be carried out to smooth entry points into adjacent roads and business entries.

Rehabilitation of the City’s Connecting Link is important work to improve major road infrastructure for Timmins. We appreciate your cooperation and patience as construction is completed.

Timmins City Council has adopted the City of Timmins Council Priorities for 2023-2026, which will guide Council decision-making and future planning over the current electoral term.

Setting strategic priorities for Council not only improves accountability and transparency, it will allow Council to better meet the opportunities and challenges facing the community.

City Council has identified seven strategic priorities:

• Housing
• Infrastructure
• Safety
• Recreation and Tourism
• Economy
• Environment
• Core Services

All seven priorities are aligned to meet the City’s current needs and foster a future of prosperity and growth for Timmins.

“Timmins is fortunate that our provincial and federal partners are making an effort to understand the realities of Northern Ontario,” says Mayor Michelle Boileau. “We are seeing an increase in regional funding for Long Term Care and upstream homelessness prevention programs. We are witnessing a revitalization of Timmins transportation network with support for the Connecting Link and the reinstatement of passenger rail service in Timmins. Our strategic priorities will help council apply each opportunity to Timmins’ unique set of challenges and concerns.”

Now that Council has set their priorities, Mayor Boileau will begin to engage with the City’s partners and stakeholder organizations to discuss how Council’s priorities can align with their individual vision and goals.

With Council approval, the City of Timmins Council Priorities document will now be translated into French and be made available to the public on the City’s corporate website at www.timmins.ca.

The City of Timmins Environmental Services & Public Utilities department wishes to advise the public of water infrastructure maintenance activities that may affect water quality on Dwyer Ave., from Les Hall St. to Vipond Rd. This is schedule to start May 16, 2023 from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

All homes and businesses in the affected area could be without water for a few hours as well coloured water and lower than normal water pressures

If you experience brown or rust-coloured water during the schedule water maintenance, it is recommended not to drink or wash laundry with the discoloured water. While it is not harmful to your health, it can stain laundry. Should this occur, 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.

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

The City of Timmins would like to advise the public that work on the Crawford St./Ferguson Rd. watermain extension will be begin Monday, May 16 until August, 2023. The project will provide reliable drinking water and fire flows for all businesses and private residences east of Crawford St.

Currently, a single line supplies water to 1,180 water services and fire hydrants to the eastern limits of the City's distribution system. When this main is compromised, flow in the area is limited. The installation of 1,275m of new watermain will provide new services for the properties adjacent to the new main and a new fire hydrant for fire suppression.

Work will be done in small sections with minor lane reductions around the work area. Traffic controls will be in place and drivers are asked to slow down when proceeding through the work zone. The City does not anticipate any disruption to water service while the new line is being installed.

We thank you for your patience and cooperation while we complete this necessary work.
