Phase 1 accelerated roadwork update
May 16, 2025
In this edition of the Valley Line West newsletter, we're sharing updates on the Phase 1 accelerated roadwork. Accelerated roadwork and track work in key areas in 2025 will reduce the overall duration of traffic restrictions by more than half. This plan will allow Marigold to complete the majority of roadwork in 2025, and get many of the roads into their final configuration.

These proposed tree replacements will be taking place between May and November 2025.
Forestry Operations is requesting your review of the proposed replacement planting locations in order to identify if there is any ongoing or proposed construction or events in 2025 that may impact our ability to access the sites for replacement planting to occur in 2025. Please review and provide your feedback regarding planned construction or other planned site event or construction conflicts near the replacement planting locations using the provided form by the indicated due date.
Please share the contact information for any other groups that may be stakeholders in the sites on this circulation.
