ICIP Sidewalk Program
The City of North Bay has been successful in obtaining funding through the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP) to complete the installation of sidewalks, including storm sewer improvements, on numerous streets throughout the City. This program is a multi-year construction project that will benefit the neighbourhoods that do not have existing sidewalks available to offer safe and reliable travel for pedestrians to and from existing transit stops. It provides for the construction of sidewalks on one side of the road in various locations throughout the City that currently have transit routes. To facilitate the installation of the sidewalks the program will also include the installation of storm sewers, curb & gutter, restoration, and partial asphalt paving including granular road base.

SIDEWALK LOCATIONS:
The City of North Bay has been successful in obtaining federal and provincial funding to complete the installation of sidewalks and stormwater improvements on numerous streets throughout the City. The funding was provided in two phases with Phase 1 sidewalk program under construction from 2021 - 2026 and Phase 2 sidewalk program starting in 2025 and will be complete in 2032.
The sidewalk program is a multi-year construction project that will benefit the neighborhoods that do not have existing sidewalks available to offer safe and reliable travel for pedestrians to and from existing transit stops and along the transit route. It provides for the construction of sidewalks on one side of the road and depending on the sidewalk location will also include the installation of storm sewers and/or ditches, curb & gutter where possible, restoration, and partial asphalt paving including granular road base.
WHAT TO EXPECT ONCE CONSTRUCTION BEGINS:
|
Work Hours |
Construction work on the projects will occur Monday to Friday from 7:00am until 7:00pm. During various operations the contractor will be permitted to work on Saturdays with proper notice. Working on Sundays is not permitted without special permission. |
|
Traffic Management Cars and Pedestrians |
Traffic will be reduced to one lane using flaggers and/or temporary traffic control lights during construction. Motorists are reminded to abide by traffic/construction signs posted in local areas to ensure safe travel of all users including pedestrians and bicycle riders. Every effort will be made to manage traffic and closures for the safety of construction workers, pedestrians and residents. Road users should expect delays travelling through this section for the duration of the project. |
|
Parking |
Parking will not be permitted anywhere on these road locations during active construction work. When needed, temporary parking arrangements will be provided by the contractor to those residents who cannot enter their driveway due to location of underground and above ground infrastructure construction. |
|
Pedestrians |
Pedestrians are encouraged to travel along the edges of the right-of-way and designated areas provided by the contractor. |
|
Deliveries |
Deliveries may occur during construction using local access but may not always be possible due to the location of installing infrastructure. The Contractor will make every effort to assist with delivery of your packages. |
|
Residents |
Residents along each road section indicated will have access to their property at all times except when various restrictions occur (construction of various infrastructures in the area of their property driveway – i.e. paving and sidewalk pouring). The Contractor will assist with picking up your garbage and recyclables placed in front of the residence and delivering to the collection agency on the day of normal schedule pick-up. |
|
Businesses |
All businesses’ access will remain open during the construction and where necessary, signage may be placed at both the ends of the construction limits. The Contractor will assist with picking up your garbage and recyclables placed in front of the business and delivering to the collection agency on the day of normal schedule pick-up. |
