Project Update - Pavement Marking Installation and Feedback Summary Report

Thank you for your interest in this project. See below for key updates.

Key Installation Updates

Pavement Marking Installation - Pavement marking installation will begin the week of Monday, September 22nd. This will occur overnight. The roadway will be kept open to traffic.
Temporary Overnight Parking Restrictions - During pavement marking installation next week, parking on Aberdeen Ave will be restricted on both sides. Keep an eye out for posted signs, which will be posted 48 hours in advance of the work. Parking restrictions will be overnight only, beginning at approximately 7PM.This will allow for the roadway to remain open to traffic while crews are working.
Flex-Post Installation - Installation of flex-posts will occur in October or Early November. Before installation, we will ask residents to provide feedback on the proposed locations, which will be marked out on the street in paint (see more information below).

Additional Outreach Opportunity: Flex-Post Locations

City staff want to hear from you regarding the placement of flex-posts along the street. See below for information on how to engage with staff ahead of the installation.

Flex-Post Installation - Locations of flex-posts will be marked out in spray paint the week following pavement marking installation. During this time, we invite residents to reach out to city staff with any concerns regarding locations, such as concerns regarding how posts will affect pulling into and out of driveways.

Staff will meet with residents on-site to hear concerns. Based on your comments and suggestions, we can make modifications and changes to where flex-posts are placed.
