The Beeton OPA31 Master Servicing Plan (MSP) adopted by Council in December 2010 identifies various recommendations for servicing solutions including stormwater management, water, wastewater, traffic and electrical distribution in support of development growth. Dayfoot Street was identified in the MSP to be reconstruction to an urbanized cross-section, including water and wastewater upgrades, from Main Street to Lilly Street. The primary scope of work for this project consists of upsizing the underground infrastructure (ie. watermain & sanitary sewers) along with urbanizing the road (new storm sewer, adding curb, sidewalk, bike lanes etc) in keeping with recommendations from various Town Studies such as the Beeton Master Servicing Plan, DC Background Study, Water Distribution and Storage Master Plan and the Multi Modal Active Transportation Master Plan. The Dayfoot Street Urbanization is a growth-related project being funded primarily by Development Charges. |

The VPOH took place from Monday, February 28 to Monday, March 14, 2022. The VPOH presentation slides, and additional project information can be found below under Project Materials and Detail Design Drawings. |
