York Street and Wallace Road Reconstruction
The town will be making improvements on York Street from Speers Road to Wallace Road, and on Wallace Road, from Speers Road to the end of the Wallace Road cul-de-sac.
Project scope
The York and Wallace Reconstruction will include improvements to replace the highly asphalted right-of-way with curbing and boulevard space. This will achieve an additional 40 per cent of green space within the boulevard and offer legal on-street parking, where feasible, to serve local businesses.
Safety improvements will also be applied with upgrades to the existing area streetlighting and an added sidewalk along the east side of York Street, and along the north side of Wallace between York Street and Speers Road. A new storm sewer, complete with oil and grit separator, will be added to improve stormwater quality and drainage in the project area.
Project status
May 14, 2024, update
We are applying final adjustments to the detailed design of York Street and Wallace Road Reconstruction. Construction is expected to begin summer of 2024, after utility relocations.
Oakville Hydro will relocate the existing pole line at York and Wallace, South of Speers Road, commencing May 21, 2024. Construction is anticipated to last five to seven weeks, weather depending.
Residents and business owners are asked to move their vehicles out of the right of way, and provide ample space for hydro-pole replacement and construction works.
Road reconstruction is estimated to begin near the end of the 2024 summer and take approximately six to eight months to complete. Project completion is estimated for 2025.
Traffic on Wallace Road and York Street will remain open during construction but may be reduced to one lane at times in select areas. Access to properties will be maintained at all times during construction.
What to expect
- Asphalt resurfacing
- Grading and boulevard restoration
- New concrete curb and gutter
