George Street Construction Progress Report August 24 September 11, 2026
QBT is back at it again! After the recent temporary pause in work, construction resumed with the removal of the remaining existing sidewalk areas. Preparations have also begun for the new sidewalk placement. This will entail gravel placements and wood forming.
Upon the recommencement of construction, a site review has been completed with various agency representatives. It was noted and witnessed that many pedestrians were not staying within the designated sidewalk areas. To help provide further assistance and delineations, QBT has installed signage along with some additional barrels and taping off of the sidewalk areas.
PLEASE adhere to the pedestrian areas and do not travel through the construction site. The safety of pedestrians and staff is our priority, and we must comply with Construction Regulations. There will be large-sized construction equipment on both Oak and George Streets during this time.
The concrete crew is scheduled to begin the sidewalk pours the week of August 31st followed by the curb pours (weather permitting). Provided the weather holds, the roads are expected to be paved by September 18 and opened back up for traffic shortly thereafter.
We appreciate everybody’s co-operation as we move forward to finalize this work and kindly remind everyone that should you need any assistance of any kind during the construction, please do not hesitate to communicate directly with the construction staff onsite.
We also remind you that all garbage and recyclables scheduled for regular pickup, are to be placed curbside in front of your home no later than 7am the morning of your collection date, such that adequate time is available for the construction crew to relocate appropriately to permit pickup.
