Utility crews are set to rebuild the electrical system, including pole and underground service replacements, in an area near downtown beginning in mid-March.
Temporary power outages are possible, city officials warn.
The initiative, being led by Alectra Utilities, is set to start on March 10 and take about three weeks to complete, depending on weather conditions. It will run along Wyndham Street South and York Road, south of Howitt Street.
It will see the replacement of poles, anchors, conductors and underground services.
“An interruption to your electrical service may be required to facilitate the change to the new infrastructure,” states a post on the city’s website, noting the expectation is that people will receive advanced notice of outages.
“There could be lane reductions during the construction period; however, two-way traffic will be always maintained.”
Most of the work is set to happen between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. on weekdays.
