Public Notice Re: Water Street Sidewalk – CLOSED for repairs

November 21 the Bridge Commission of the Province closed the sidewalk (right-hand side coming into town) for repairs.

It is anticipated that the sidewalk will be closed for a period of time, the Bridge Commission is not able to provide a timeline for this repair

.A job order has been issued to repair the sidewalk from the corner of Waverly Street to the Water Street bridge (baseball field side). This work has been started.

A job order has been issued to paint a crosswalk at the end of the Water Street bridge and to install Crosswalk signage. This should be done early next week – depends on weather.

Public Works is working on curb cuts to enter/exit the new crosswalk.

We encourage parents that are concerned about their children’s safety to/from school to contact the Town Office (902-447-2170) for a number to call to see their child/children can be bussed.

If you have any suggestions/ideas regarding how to make the walkway on the Water Street Bridge to be safer and more accessible, please contact us, we welcome any ideas. publicworks@oxfordns.ca

We apologize for the inconvenience and are working hard to ensure that walking across the Water Street Bridge is safe and accessible to everyone.
