Alectra Relocations – Front Street South Improvements, WO#639782

Dear Customer:

The City of Mississauga is undertaking a road and marina park improvements project along Front Street South from Lakeshore Road. Please refer to the key map attached to the back of this letter. This project requires Alectra Utilities to relocate poles and underground cables to accommodate this work. Alectra Utilities will be performing the following construction work:

  • Install/remove wood poles
  • Install new pole mount transformer
  • Install underground secondary service cables
  • Install overhead conductors

Alectra Utilities has received the necessary approvals and permits from the City of Mississauga to proceed with this work.

Alectra crews will be working primarily on Front Street South from Lakeshore Road and the surrounding areas of Port Street West and Bay Street will be impacted minimally by construction activities.

This project will require minor excavation along the Municipal Road Allowance to install the new overhead and underground electrical distribution equipment, including 4 poles, 1 polemount transformer, and underground service cables.

Tree trimming will be required to maintain safe clearance from the wires and will be kept to a minimum as allowed for safety and reliability requirements. Additionally, construction vehicles and equipment will be apparent, and while we apologize for any inconvenience noise, dust, and crew presence may cause, we want to reassure the community that Alectra and our contractors adhere to best construction practices ensuring a safe work zone. Majority of construction will occur during the weekday typically between the hours of 8:00am to 4:00pm.

Furthermore, the entrance to driveways fronting Front Street South, North of Bay Street and South of Port Street West may be impacted and every effort to coordinate safe vehicular passage during construction will be made. If you plan to perform any landscaping or driveway improvements, please wait until our work is complete.

Scheduled power interruptions may be required to safely complete our work and every attempt will be made to notify you in advance. If your power will be affected, you will receive notifications by phone or notice on your front door. Please ensure that your primary contact phone number attached to your Alectra Utilities account is current.

Construction is scheduled to begin November 2022 and completion is expected in January 2023. Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation. Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact Fiona Giggie at 905-798-3168 or Fiona.Giggie@alectrautilities.com. If there are additional questions from the City of Mississauga, please contact John Griffin at 289-242-6403 or John.Griffin@mississauga.ca

Sincerely,

Alectra Utilities Corporation
