This notice is to advise that, as part of Early Works for the Stage 2 O-Train Light Rail Transit project,
geotechnical investigations will be taking place in the Pinecrest Creek pathway area to collect soil, water and
bedrock data that will inform design and construction of the Confederation Line extension.
WHAT: Drilling boreholes up to 200 millimeters in diameter and 15 meters deep along the LRT alignment.
WHEN: As early as Monday May 27 to Saturday June 15. Some work will take place during overnight
hours from 6:30 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.
WHY: Geotechnical investigations are required to understand the soil, groundwater and bedrock
characteristics along the rail alignment, to inform detailed engineering for construction.
WHERE: Five boreholes will be drilled in the Pinecrest Creek pathway area between Highway 417 and
Carling Avenue.
PEDESTRIAN & CYCLING IMPACTS
Existing pedestrian and cycling access around the drilling sites will be maintained in a safe and efficient manner
with the installation of appropriate warning and detour signage and monitoring by traffic control personnel.
