Pelham Street Reconstruction

The Pelham Street Reconstruction project includes the reconstruction of Pelham Street from the Fonthill downtown core to the south Town limit, approximately 150 m south of Quaker Road. The project will be completed in four phases at an estimated cost of $9M. The Town has received a grant from the ICIP Rural and Northern Stream for $4.2M to complete the Pelham Street Reconstruction project.

Phase 1:

The project's first phase included the reconstruction of Pelham Street between College Street and Port Robinson Road. This project commenced in the fall of 2020 and was completed in the spring of 2021. https://www.pelham.ca/en/business-and-development/pelham-street-reconstruction.aspx

Phase 2:

The project's second phase involved the reconstruction of Pelham Street from Port Robinson Road to approximately 50 m south of Pancake and John Street. The project included a complete reconstruction of the roadway, including newly paved surfaces including designated on-road bicycle facilities, concrete curb and gutter, new concrete sidewalks, a new storm drainage system to improve drainage and mitigate flooding concerns, a new water main and new street lighting for both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. The project also included pedestrian safety and traffic calming measures at the key intersections, including a raised tabletop intersection at Port Robinson Road. Phase 2 of the project began in the spring of 2021, and all significant elements were completed by December 2021. Additional finishing work, such as sod, was completed in the spring of 2022.

Phase 3:

The Pelham Street reconstruction project included the reconstruction of Pelham Street between John Street and Spruceside Crescent South. It consisted of a new watermain and a new storm drainage system to improve drainage and mitigate flooding concerns.

The work was part of the Pelham Street Reconstruction project. The project's limits for phase three were from south of John Street to south of Spruceside Crescent South.

The Town received a grant from the ICIP Rural and Northern Stream for $4.2M for all phases of the Pelham Street reconstruction project.

The project was substantially complete, including base asphalt, in December of 2022, and the restoration works, including landscaping and top asphalt, are being completed in the spring of 2023.

This contract is carried out for the Town by Rankin Construction Inc. The contract administrator for the project, who will also carry out full-time construction inspection on behalf of the Town is Associated Engineering.

Phase 4:

The Pelham Street Phase 4 Reconstruction project from Spruceside Crescent South to 500m south of Quaker Road was originally budgeted for construction in 2024 and has been rescheduled for 2023 ahead of the Quaker Road Reconstruction project in 2024.

It will consist of a new watermain and a new storm drainage system to improve drainage and mitigate flooding concerns. The Pelham Street Phase 4 project and the Quaker Road Reconstruction project are critical to supporting the development and improving safety for active transportation users and vehicular traffic.

This work is part of the Pelham Street Reconstruction project that will be completed over the next two years. The project's limits for this phase will be from south of Spruceside Crescent South to approximately 450m south of Quaker Road.
