The City of Niagara Falls has retained CIMA+, OMC Landscape Architects, and Moon-Matz to plan and design the reconstruction of Ferry Street from Ellen Avenue to Stanley Avenue.
This project is the third implementation phase in the Victoria Centre Streetscape Master Plan. This phase will include full road reconstruction and decorative streetscape finishes on Ferry Street from the limit of Phase 2 (West of Ellen Avenue) to Stanley Avenue.
The project is expected to be tendered in January 2024, with construction planned to begin in the Spring of 2024.
To minimize the impact on the tourism industry and local businesses in the area, the project has been staged into two construction periods as follows:
Stage 1: Spring 2024 – June 30th 2024
Stage 2: September (after Labour Day) – December 2024
No construction work will be permitted from July 1st to Labour Day. Ferry Street will be fully re-opened during this time with unrestricted access to all properties and businesses. Disturbed areas of the roadway and sidewalk will be temporarily restored with hot-mix asphalt pavement.
Road Closure:
Due to the location and depth of the proposed subsurface infrastructure, impacts on traffic flow will be unavoidable. A road closure that limits through traffic will be required throughout both construction periods. However, at all times, while the road closure is in place, the contractor will be required to maintain a single lane of traffic to allow people to reach the businesses in the project area. Signage will be installed to indicate businesses are open during construction.
