Lamminen Ave. will be closed between Airport Rd. and Suzanne St. beginning Tuesday, September 27 to Thursday, September 29, 2022.

The closure is necessary to finish watermain installation as crews work to complete infrastructure repairs.

Thank you for your continued patience.

We know that residents are concerned about people living along Algonquin Blvd. E. at the underpass and want to assure you that we are also concerned.

We have worked with Timmins Police Service on clean-up and waste collection and will continue to provide support from both our Public Works and By-law Departments. Please understand that this is both a short-term and temporary solution that solves the immediate problem. The City is also committed to helping find a long-term solution so that our most vulnerable are supported, while the area is kept accessible and safe for residents.

We continue to work with public service agencies who are providing consistent outreach, often every day, to help address the human element. Ultimately, we are talking about people who are experiencing homelessness with possible mental health and addiction concerns. A level of sensitivity is required to any proposed solution.

We will continue to listen to your feedback and provide updates as they are available.

Sincerely,

Mayor Kristin Murray
City of Timmins

NOTICE OF COMPLETE APPLICATION AND PUBLIC MEETING RE: PROPOSED ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT

TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the Corporation of the City of Timmins will hold a public meeting on Tuesday, October 11, 2022, at 3:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers, City of Timmins, 220 Algonquin Boulevard East, Timmins, Ontario, to gather public input regarding a proposed Zoning By-law Amendment under Section 34 of the Planning Act, R.S.O 1990, c. P. 13, as amended.

Applicant: Justin Morin

Location: Mountjoy Concession 5, North Part of Lot 1, Registered Plan 6R-8233, Part 4 (Laforest Road)

THE PURPOSE AND EFFECT of the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment is to rezone the subject lands currently zoned Rural (RD-RU) to Highway Commercial (EA-CH) in order to permit all uses in the Highway Commercial (EA-CH) zone. The applicant is proposing to construct an office with attached shop for a construction business and eight self-storage units.

ANY PERSON may attend the public meeting and/or make written or verbal representation either in support of or in opposition to the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment.

If a person or public body would otherwise have an ability to appeal the decision of Council of the City of Timmins to the Ontario Land Tribunal but the person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the City of Timmins before the by-law is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision.

If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting, or make written submissions to the City of Timmins before the by-law is passed, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Land Tribunal unless, in the opinion of the Tribunal, there are reasonable grounds to do so.

If you wish to be notified of the decision of the City of Timmins on the proposed zoning by-law amendment, you must make a written request to Steph Palmateer, City Clerk, City of Timmins, 220 Algonquin Boulevard East, Timmins, Ontario, P4N 1B3.

Dated at the City of Timmins, September 15, 2022.

Please be advised that temporary traffic lights have been set up between Lonergan Blvd. and Riverpark Rd. as part of the Airport Rd. watermain work that is currently underway.

Traffic between this section of Airport Rd. will be reduced to one lane effective Tuesday, September 13 until Friday, September 16, 2022. Work to remove trench cages at two more locations along Airport Rd. is expected to take no more than 4 days.

Thank you for your continued patience as we work to complete this infrastructure project.

Please be advised that water will be shut off in the area surrounding the Connecting Link construction zone along Algonquin Blvd. on the evenings of Sept. 12 AND Sept. 13, 2022 beginning at 9:00 p.m. and for a period of approximately 9 hours.

The shut off area is specific to the construction zone site and will impact businesses and homes along Algonquin Blvd. between Theriault Blvd. and Mountjoy St. including the Preston St. apartments, extending up Rea St. N. immediately behind  the grocery store and Hollinger Plaza.

This is necessary to work on water infrastructure in the construction zone.

When the water flow returns, you may experience discoloured water. Before using the water, it is recommended to run your cold-water taps for a minimum of 10 minutes until the water runs clear. You may need to do this once water is turned on from each disruption.

Residents and businesses in the area have been notified by contractors.

Thank you for your continued patience as we work towards project completion.
