The following is an update on Larcohe Park from City staff:
The project team appreciates the patience and understanding of residents during the construction of the park and delays due to unforeseen site conditions, supply chain related issues and labour delays due to COVID - all very real factors in creating schedule delays. We are grateful that given the numbers of constructions workers on site that contracted COVID, they have all recovered and working again to complete the project.
As presented in to the Community in October 2020 at the final public meeting, a primary focus of the project was to remediate the impacts of the former landfill on site. This required excavation of areas accommodating the new building, park amenities and numerous new tree planting, removal of existing material, regrading of the entire park, with no construction taking place until fill movement was completed. Following the regrading, clean soil capping material delivery continues to the site and put in place across the entire park. The sourcing of clean soil was made more difficult under Ontario's new excess soil regulations. The clean soil could not be brought to site in winter as it would freeze and could not be properly graded however, once the spring thaw arrived and the soil was ready for delivery. Transport has been slowed due to the high demand and limited availability of dump trucks. The reduced number of available trucks has been addressed with extra deliveries of soil that have been scheduled on Saturdays.
