The City of Timmins, Public Works Dept., wishes to advise the public of scheduled road infrastructure enhancements happening on Ross Ave. at the intersection of Toke St. Work has begun to extend the curbs and install a raised median as part of improvements to the community safety zone area on Ross Ave.

A curb extension narrows the road section, helping to regulate and reduce traffic speeds. There is no impact to the existing pedestrian crossing. The addition of the curb extensions and raised median creates a safe space for pedestrians and improves visibility. As a result, reduction of the four lanes east of the Toke intersection will start further back on Ross Ave. 

Work will require temporary lane reductions. Once complete, a dedicated left-turn lane for westbound traffic will be available for Toke St.

Bylaw 2025-9107 was approved on April 8, 2025 to create a Community Safety Zone on Ross Ave. from Patricia Blvd. to Hwy. 655. A Community Safety Zone is a designated section of roadway where public safety is a top priority.

The City of Timmins, Environmental Services & Public Utilities Department wishes to advise the public of a scheduled water infrastructure maintenance activities affecting the following area:

Timmins Area: School Rd, between Leonard Ave. and Riverside Dr.

Residents will experience a loss of pressure and may have some discolored water due to a test shutdown for the Connecting Link watermain re-lining project.

Date and Time of Disruption: August 5, 2026 from 10:00 PM to 1:00 AM.

All homes and businesses in the affected area could have colored water and/or lower water pressure.

Properties in the area may experience brown or rust-colored water during the schedule water maintenance. It is recommended not to drink or wash laundry with the discolored 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 colour has returned to normal.

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