Press Releases - 

The Town of The Blue Mountains would like to advise residents that Tatham Engineering Limited has been awarded the engineering contract for the Lakewood Drive Reconstruction Project.

The Town has identified the need to reconstruct Lakewood Drive due to deficiencies with the water distribution and sanitary sewage collection systems. The road was constructed in 1971, and the underground infrastructure is now due for replacement. The reconstruction of Lakewood Drive was approved as part of the 2022 Town Budget. The detailed design is scheduled to be finalized in late 2022, with construction anticipated to begin in 2023.

The road will be reconstructed to generally match existing conditions, and the ditches will be cleared of trees and reshaped to improve drainage. A stormwater study will also be completed to consider storm drainage deficiencies, and will recommend work on private lands to be completed by the landowners to reduce the risk of flooding by conveying storm water to Georgian Bay.  

Additionally, the Town will be investigating the possibility of closing the west intersection of Lakewood Drive and Highway 26, and signalizing the intersection of Highway 26, Grey Road 40 and Lakewood Drive. This was the preliminary preferred option identified through a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment completed in 2014 for the intersection of Highway 26 and Grey Road 40.
