Description
We live on River Oaks Blvd W between Oxford Ave and Winding Woods Drive where the road has been scheduled to be resurfaced. We received a notice back in June that work was to be done however only some curbs have been redone and since then there's been nothing happening while big ugly orange and black plyons are still lining the streets for 2 months. When will the work be done to resurface the roads and can we ***please*** have the pylons removed if no construction work is underway? They are a real eye sore...we take pride in our home and neighbourhood and are tired of staring at pylons. Thanks.

Good Morning
Thank you for reporting your issue through my SeeClickFix portal. Although I note the Mayor has already responded, I will also follow up on both matters you have submitted as you ward councillor.
On the matter of the road resurfacing, I will get you more details on the project I can report to you that the contractor has started this morning with the old asphalt removal so the work in now underway!
I will report back as soon as I have more details for you on both reported items.

Here is a réponse from our staff:
I can confirm that asphalt grinding has started today and will take a couple of days to complete. We expect the contractor to commence the paving operations shortly thereafter.
Resurfacing works generally follow a phased construction schedule. First the contractor carries out concrete curb and sidewalk replacements, followed by asphalt removal and finally paving. While we desire to have those three phases to occur one after the other with little time in between, in reality, there can be a time lag between the concrete repairs and the asphalt removal/paving part.
Safety cones are left along the edge of the road in order to mitigate the contractor’s risk for potential claims that could arise from motorists/pedestrians. Until the work is complete, this is considered a work site and as such we are not in a position to ask the contractor to remove the cones until the work is fully completed.
I have been advised that the grinding work will be completed by the end of business tomorrow and the paving will follow right after. It appears that this will be complete by the end of the week.
