Back Lanes 2023
The following back lanes will undergo reconstruction, to ensure the continued stability and safety of the lane:
- Back lane in Corinthia neighbourhood surrounding Mohawk Cres.
- Back lanes in Linsford neighbourhood from 45 Ave North to the T-intersection.
- Back lanes in Southfork neighbourhood on Songhurst Wynd between Songhurst Way and Southfork Drive.
Lanes will be excavated down to the base or sub-grade, restabilized, and re-surfaced. Gas lines may be impacted during this work, and the City will work closely with APEX Utilities as needed.
During reconstruction, access to the back lane will be limited and/or unavailable, and there may be impacts to RV parking and waste collection. Impacted residents are encouraged to make arrangements and move any RVs ahead of construction, and to keep an eye out for specific details and timelines from the contractor as the work begins and progresses.

Project Details
Project Update
| Date | Status |
| Nov. 2, 2023 | Work is being done to winterize Stages 2 & 3 starting Nov. 2. Cold mix asphalt ramps are being placed where needed for better laneway and driveway access. The laneway accesses will be transitioned with cold mix; any concrete driveways will be ramped; and any driveways that were previously paved will get cold mix asphalt until the spring. Backfilling landscaping will be done where possible. Once the weather permits in the spring, any cold mix placed this fall will be removed and the top lift overlay will be completed along with any remaining landscape restoration. Notices will be delivered in the spring before the final lift is paved. Waste collection has returned to rear laneway collection. |
| Oct. 26, 2023 | With the recent snowfall, crews are working at restoring access to the laneway along with driveways and garages. Depending on weather, paving of the final lift may be deferred into spring 2024. |
| Oct. 18, 2023 | Driveway cutbacks have begun and concrete is being poured. |
| Oct. 11, 2023 | The first lift of asphalt is being paved on October 12, following the first lift of asphalt driveway cutbacks will begin. |
| Oct. 4, 2023 | Work in Stages 2 and 3 continue, and the first lift of asphalt is scheduled for October 12. |
| Sept. 20, 2023 | Top lift of asphalt in Stage 1 is completed and final landscaping is ongoing. Stage 2 and 3 are set to begin on September 21 and will be closed to traffic. Garbage collection for all Stages will remain in the front until the work in all stages is completed. |
| Sept. 14, 2023 | Stage 1 top lift paving is set to occur on Sept. 14, once the top lift is completed Stage 1 will be reopened to residents while landscaping work occurs. Work in Stages 2 & 3 are exppected to begin on Monday, Sept. 18. |
| Aug. 31, 2023 | Starting Sept. 5, Stage 1 will be closed in order to replace driveways connections and to replace the laneway access near Corinthia Drive. Once the laneway concrete access has sufficiently cured, the final lift of asphalt will be paved. In Stage 3, Apex continues the replacement of the gas line. |
| Aug. 23, 2023 | In Stage 1, the base lift of pavement has been paved and access to the lane is temporarily opened to residents. A second layer of asphalt still needs to be placed along with driveway cutbacks, this will alleviate any gaps between the lane and driveways. After paving has been completed landscaping will be backfilled and finished. In Stage 3, Apex has begun the gasline replacement and is progressing. |
| Aug. 9, 2023 | Final prep on Stage 1 base is occuring which will allow for the first lift of paving to occur around August 18. Apex is finishing up the remaining work on the Stage 2 gas line and should be completed by the end of the week which will allow for Stage 2 to be temporarily reopened for a brief period of time before DeFord begins the reconstruction. |
| Aug. 2, 2023 | The base prep for stage 1 is nearing completion and will be ready for the first lift of asphalt around the middle of August. Apex is finishing up gas tie ins and is expected to be finished stage 2 by the end of next week. |
| July 26, 2023 | Prepping of the lane surface in Stage 1 is underway and progressing. Apex is completing gas line replacement in Stage 2. |
| July 19, 2023 | Apex has completed the gas line replacements in Stage 1 and DeFord will be taking over the site on July 20 and begin prepping the road surface. |
| July 5, 2023 | Apex is completing the final portion of the gas line replacement in the area and should begin to transition the gas service to the new line. DeFord is expected to begin the lane improvements on the week of July 17, weather permitting. |
| June 21, 2023 | Apex is continuing gas line replacements within Stage 1 of the lane. |
| June 8, 2023 | Work is progessing as Apex has begun removal and replacement of the gas line in stage 1 area. |
| May 31, 2023 | Removals are set to begin in stage 1 on June 1 . APEX will take approximatley 3 weeks to replace the gas line in stage 1 on starting June 5. |
