| Late Aug/ early Sept 2019 | Cascade Place, McGonigle Heights, Riverview Drive | A sanitary main below the Cascade Place cul-de-sac is being replaced and realigned. Ultimately, this work will improve the flow of the area’s sanitary system. Preliminary work is set to begin the week of August 19 with site preparations, including tree removals with excavations. The main's alignment is being adjusted for improved maintenance access and safety. The project also includes directional drilling beneath Griffin Road, as well as deep trenching in the west boulevard along Riverview Drive, to install new pipe. We ask that pedestrians and cyclists in the area exercise caution while in the construction areas and that motorists drive with caution in the construction zones and adhere to all posted speed limits and traffic controls. | Water and Wastewater Connect with us at: WaterProjects2019@cochrane.ca |

| Summer 2019 | Horse Creek Road Pedestrian Crossing | The Town and CP are collectively working on the design of this crossing. Additional scope has been added to relocate some siding track that conflicts with the alignment of the crossing location. This conflict has a large impact on the safety of the crossing and CP is currently preparing a work plan to relocate the track. This crossing is a priority and will continue to be advanced in a timely way. Early indication from CP is that the project implementation will now be delayed until the spring of 2019 while design details are finalized. | Roads |
