Project Overview and Benefits
This project involves raising Rue Vendome between Normandy Drive and 71 Street to create a level, accessible public plaza. the project includes traffic signalization adjustments, construction of the public plaza, landscaping, lighting and other necessary improvements to encourage public use of the venue for gatherings. During construction, it was determined that the fountain required a new vault and electrical control panel, both of which have since been installed.
Timeline
The western portion of Rue Vendome Plaza opened to the public on May 9, 2021. The completion of this project continues to be delayed due to unforeseen conditions and default by the contractor. Community events resumed on September 12, 2021, and are being accommodated within the western portion of the plaza until construction is complete. Construction of the project is expected to resume shortly and be completed by this winter.
What to Expect
- Construction equipment and machinery are present in the work zone.
