Timberrrrrrr..........................Timberrrrrrr....................Timberrrrrrr has been heard for the last few weeks as well heard for the coming weeks going north to The QEW for cutting trees down. About a dozen or so have already been cut down to ground level and a few are sumps that could be use for carving. Got to make room for the car.
The tree sizes range from about 6-24 inches thick. Branch by branch is cut first that falls to the ground to become wood chips. Once the branches are removed, the tree is cut in small sections and fall to the ground. Someone on duty to stop pedestrians going by the tree when things are to fall. Watch a tree having branches cut it that was full tree, but as I drove by it was a tree to be cut down with no branches on it.
Small crew working on the water line at Fairview and that all taking place Friday from Dundas to Burhamthrope. They finally fix the problem pinch point south of Fairview as traffic was free flowing and a drag race area now. If anyone doing 65 in a 50 zone, I must miss them as it was 70 plus. A crew working in the centre north of the fire hall for waterline with police on site.
You can see the box tunnel taking shape with the centre ready for concrete. Both sides of the walls have one side in for the rebar and work taking place on the other side.
Excavation still taking place in the hole at the south end and should be completed this month.
Mary Fix Creek walls are still being pour with support foundation for the new west end bridge partly built. Curb has been pour on part of the north side for parking. Based on the fact how the LRT line will come out of the northside of the rail corridor, how it will connect to Hurontario and what I am seeing for the east end of the creek built, the creek will be move to a new location using the new wall system. It will be box over where the LRT and the new road is to and then use the new wall system to the creek including where the current road exist.
