Bobcaygeon Beach Park Redevelopment

Bobcaygeon Beach Park Redevelopment – Conceptual Design

We are excited to initiate this project and recognize the importance of Bobcaygeon Beach Park redesign to the community. Landscape Planning Limited is leading the design project. The conceptual design includes innovative approaches and progressive technologies that are sustainable and operationally feasible. All design elements will meet or exceed Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation Guidelines and Design of Public Spaces Standards.

The design has a focus on water recreation and will facilitate use by various water craft user groups including activities such as rowing, kayaking, canoeing and motorized water craft. The design incorporates outdoor pavilions, docking to provide access to the Big Bob Channel, washroom facilities to service all park users, playground structures, water view walking paths and shoreline improvements with a focus on connection to all park features. The overall design fosters a water play focus.

Public input is a key component to the design development. The first Public Open House took place on Thursday, June 21, 2018. The meeting was an opportunity for community members to share thoughts, concerns and ideas directly with the project team.

Bobcaygeon Beach Park Redevelopment Final Public Open House

The Final Public Open House for the Bobcaygeon Beach Park Redevelopment took place on Thursday, December 6, 2018 at the Bobcaygeon Service Centre. Approximately 80 individuals attended this meeting. The purpose of this meeting was to share the revised concept design with the public. The initial conceptual design has been revised based on public feedback and comments received at the June 21, 2018 Public Open House and online survey. The revised design was presented during this meeting.

The design continues to have a focus on water recreation and community use by incorporating outdoor gathering spaces, multi-use pathways, playground structures, riparian shoreline improvements and boat docking. Landscape Planning Limited is leading the design project.

The current conceptual design and report will be presented to Council. A project funding request has been included in the 2019 Capital Budget Program, and if approved, an RFP will be prepared in order to award the provision of the final design development and construction management services. It is anticipated that on-site work will begin in the Fall of 2019.

Rivera Park Sewage Pumping Station Construction

Progress Update as of November 30

The new sewage pumping station located at 95 Lindsay Street North is currently in the testing and commissioning stage. Generators and pumps running around the clock on the west side of the river. The restoration and cleanup of the surface work is ongoing. The demolition of the old pumping station is also ongoing. The new pumping station is partially operational and will be in full service in January 2019.

Project overview

We are constructing a new sewage pumping station at the Rivera Park site across the Scugog River from the existing Colborne Street sanitary pumping station. 

Major scope of works includes:

• New sanitary pumping station;
• Sanitary sewer river crossing by microtunnelling;
• Sanitary sewer upgrades to direct flows to new station;
• New forcemain and interconnection of existing forcemains;
• Generator and control building; and
• Decommissioning and demolition of existing Colborne St. pumping station.

The new pumping station will increase capacity to accommodate future development within the local sanitary service area.

The City has awarded the construction of the project to Maple Reinders Constructors Ltd.  D.M. Wills Associates Ltd. has been retained to provide Contract Administration and Construction Inspection services on behalf of the City.

If you require this map in an alternate format please call 705-324-9411 extension 1193 or E-Mail Engineering and Corporate Assets.

Construction schedule and work hours

The construction schedule for this work is approximately 15 months starting from September 2017 until November 2018.  Regular work hours will be consistent with the City's noise by-law, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday to Friday.   When required, some work may take place outside these normal working hours but this will only be permitted at the discretion of the City and will only be done if absolutely necessary.

How you may be affected

During construction, Colborne Street West (east of William Street North) in the immediate construction area will be closed to through traffic periodically.  However, uninterrupted access to local traffic to Carew Apartments south parking lot and to the rear of 140 William Street North building will be provided for the duration of the construction. 

The current Lindsay Transit bus route from William Street North through Colborne Street West to Carew Apartments will temporarily be redirected via Pottinger Street.  Further details of temporary bus routes and schedules will be provided by the City's Public Works Department (Fleet Services).   

The walking trail through the existing pumping station site (on the west side of the Scugog River) will be rerouted outside of the construction zone with appropriate signage of Trail Closures/Detours. 

The south parking lot for Rivera Park and the park area (south of the Sinister Creek on the east side of the Scugog River) will be closed for the duration of construction.  

A major construction activity will be underground rock breaking (no blasting) and removal.  The neighbouring residents may experience some noise and possibility of vibration during rock breaking.

The existing wastewater collection systems will remain in operation during construction and commissioning of the new or modified works and all temporary sewage diversions (bypass) will take place with minimum disruption to the operation of the systems.

Questions

The City is committed to keeping you informed and ensuring that the works are carried out with minimum disruptions.  Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the individuals listed below. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.

The scheduled activities for this Fall are outlined blow, all works are weather dependent and inclement weather could delay operations:

• Install site security fence around perimeter of site
• Install silt fence around perimeter of site (to assure silt and debris remains on site/no silt enters the nearby waterway)
• Topsoil striping and initial site grading
• Underground infrastructure - Street Connections
• Connecting services at the street and installing to site property line
• Sanitary Sewer
• Water Service
• Storm Sewer
• Underground infrastructure - On site (weather dependent)
• Connecting at the site property line and completing all site infrastructure and connection to buildings
• Sanitary Sewer
• Water Service
• Storm Sewer

•  Complete Building Footings - (weather dependent)

The contractor intends to work on site until inclement weather dictates a stoppage for the construction season.   

The objective is to start operations again in early Spring 2019.  The project experienced delays in its initial start date as a result of procurement, permit and design challenges.  Completion date for the project is scheduled for Spring 2020. Regular construction updates will be provided over the duration of the project.

Conceptual information signage regarding the redevelopment of Logie Street Park has been installed at the Park entrance points.

Fenelon Falls PIC Comment Sheet

Strategic Community Improvement Plan (CIP)

The City's Strategic Community Improvement Plan (CIP) has passed the appeal phase!

A Public Meeting was held on June 4, 2018 to receive feedback on the Draft CIP. Feedback was received from many groups including the Fenelon Falls Downtown Revitalization Working Group, Municipal Heritage Committee, Peterborough and The Kawarthas Home Builders Association, Community Futures Development Corporation, the Lindsay Downtown BIA, Fenelon Forward, Service Groups, City business owners and developers, Health Unit and other community partners. Staff returned to the Planning Advisory Committee on August 1st with a revised CIP. On August 14, 2018, Council adopted the CIP. The Council decision was followed by a statutory 20-day appeal period that concluded on September 12^th, 2018 with no appeals.

The CIP establishes financial incentive programs to encourage repairs and improvements to commercial and mixed-use properties, restoration of heritage buildings, creation of or retrofits to affordable rental housing in mixed-use buildings, and downtown mainstreet revitalization and enhancements. Improvements made through the CIP will benefit all residents and visitors of Kawartha Lakes by creating more vibrant and accessible downtown and main street areas.

Property and business owners across Kawartha Lakes are eligible for the CIP program. While the CIP Project Area By-law applies City-wide, some additional financial incentives are available for property and business owners in the downtown areas that participated in the Downtown Revitalization programs.

If you are a commercial or mixed-use building owner, business owner, or the owner of a designated residential property within Kawartha Lakes, you may be eligible for the loans and grants available through the CIP. These financial programs can help improve building functionality and general aesthetics, contributing to an improved experience for customers.

The first round of application intake is scheduled to commence fall 2018 with the first round of successful projects announced in Winter 2019. Additional information regarding the application process will be posted closer to the intake date.
