This notice is to inform all affected residents and businesses of the road closure that will commence Friday, May 26 in Rossland.

The Spokane Street entrance into Lower Rossland will be closed starting Friday as that is the initial construction zone. There will be pedestrian access made for the homeowners only, any and all other traffic and pedestrians will need to re-route around this zone. The city asks homeowners to use alley access if they have it available.

The Davis Street tunnel will have access as well as the trail behind the Prestige and behind Ferraro Foods. All vehicle traffic will need to use Lower Columbia Avenue or Thompson Avenue to access Lower Rossland.

All garbage and recycling should be brought to the alley access if you have a through alley, otherwise it will need to be brought to either end of the construction zone. You can contact Alpine Disposal at 250-367-0099 for further instruction.

Lay down areas being used by the contractor are as follows:

• Emcon yard — Third Avenue between Washington Street and Spokane Street

• Arena parking lot — between Second Avenue and Third Avenue, and Spokane Street and Earl Street

• Cook Ball Park turn around — on Davis Street between Kootenay Avenue and Cook Avenue (we will leave room for the school bus only)

Please avoid walking, biking or driving through these areas at any time.

Construction north of Columbia Avenue is not scheduled to begin until mid-June. Watch for “trail closed” signs and please avoid them for your safety.

Weekly updates will be on the city website at rossland.ca where you will find road closures and any construction information.
