TWO major City of Terrace public works projects begun this year will most likely have to be put on hold until next spring.
The push is on to complete a major overhaul of a block of McConnell Ave. in the Horseshoe and the extension of the Grand Trunk Pathway, popularly called the millennium trail, but Rob Schibli said that while they are nearing completion, some of the jobs have already been rescheduled until Spring.
While there has been “no final call on projects”, as of last week there were several outstanding aspects of both projects that needed completing.
The resurfacing and redo of water systems and driveways on McConnell Ave. still requires “some driveway paving, weather and plant availability dependent,” said Schibli, adding that the new topsoil and seed for the boulevard section of the avenue have already been rescheduled to spring.
The grading and paving of the Grand Trunk Pathway was planned for completion this year but is now “extremely unlikely”.
The topsoil and grass seeding will be done in the spring as planned and the fencing along the south perimeter is ongoing this year. Benches and shrubs will also be put in next year.
