Following the groundbreaking event on June 8, the contractor has since mobilized, and excavation and construction of building foundations are now in full swing.

Bathurst Clark Resouce Library’s renovation project officially began in mid-September. The scope of the project will include the addition of six new parking spots, the addition of designated drop off and pick up locations, improvements and resurfacing of the west and north parking lots, the addition of new multipath to the western part of the parking lot and inclusion of new street furniture in the front of the library. 

The current phase 1 activity is focused on work taking place in the south parking lot, including excavation and disposal of asphalt and base layer; new trench drain installation off Clark entrance; directional boring for conduits to new pole light and EV charging stations; place and compact subgrade surface; installation of new concrete curbs; signage installation; new asphalt and line painting.

Phase 2 will see similar activities being completed in the north parking lot. Phase 3 will consist of landscaping work and is expected to progress from December through April.
