Installation of the dedicated snowmobile and pedestrian crossing on Algonquin Blvd. E. will begin Monday, July 8, 2024. Contractors will be in town to stage traffic controls and begin installing the electrical infrastructure like conduits and pole bases. The crossing is being added following the removal of the Algonquin overpass. Snowmobile riders will be able to traverse Algonquin using a signalized crossing from Hollinger Park to the Hydro One easement to the north. The crossing will operate with a standard red, yellow, and green traffic light cycle that starts on-demand when prompted by a pedestrian or snowmobile rider. The crossing for pedestrians and snowmobiles are separated for safety, flanking either side of the east entrance to KFC. Each crossing will be clearly marked, with separate crossing signals. During construction, Algonquin Blvd. E. will be reduced to one lane in each direction at the point of construction.
The temporary pedestrian crossing at Pine St. and Algonquin Blvd. E. will be moved to east of the Cedar St. and Algonquin Blvd. E. intersection effective Thursday, June 6, 2024. This is to facilitate construction work that is now encroaching on the Pine St. intersection. Pedestrians will now cross Algonquin Blvd. E. at Cedar St. Thank you for your continued patience as we work to complete this season's Connecting Link construction.
The front entrance to City Hall on Algonquin Blvd. E. will be closed effective Thursday, May 23, 2024 to facilitate Connecting Link construction. The public can access City Hall through the accessible entrance off Cedar St. N. using the elevator to the first floor and Service Timmins. Starting Thursday, contractors will start pushing temporary fencing back and begin to remove the brickwork along the sidewalks on Algonquin Blvd. E. starting at Cedar St. and working east to Pine St. Work includes new curbs and sidewalks as part of the reconstruction of the roadway and replacement of underground services. Residents are reminded that Service Timmins is also available by phone at 705-264-1331 during regular business hours or online through the City’s Customer Service Portal at service.timmins.ca.
Effective Thursday, May 09, 2024 at 6:00 p.m., the traffic lights on Pine St. S. at Second Ave. and Third Ave. will remain 4-way flashing red stops. This applies to the traffic lights on Cedar St. S. at Second Ave. and Third Ave. as well. The change means that motorists should be prepared to stop. The first vehicle to enter has the right-of-way at a four-way stop. If two or more cars stop at the same time, right-of-way goes to the vehicle on the right. The changes are designed to improve traffic flow in downtown Timmins around the busy Second Ave. Connecting Link detour. We appreciate your cooperation. Learn more at: www.timmins.ca/connecting_link
