Phase 2 membrane project, Day 27–August 20, 2026

by 
Phase 2 Membrane Replacement Project

Project Mobilization Date: July 20, 2026
Work Start Date: May 4, 2026 (for emergency repairs) 
Expected completion: February 2027 (new, was December 2026)
Primary contractor: Prostar https://prostar.ca/

Weather: 30°C, sunny
Workers onsite: At least two

Work done today:

  • Pavers were restored to patios for both the 244 and 248 buildings
  • Per the Prostar notice yesterday that noted “Construction crews will begin extending work areas and preparing for the parking lot closure starting Thursday, August 20, 2026” – there is no sign this was done, the work area is unchanged as of the evening of August 20.

However, President of Council Jeff and I put out signs denoting Temporary Delivery Parking near the 248 building for when the visitor parking is closed off, so deliveries will still get through. We also added No Parking signs to the opposite side of the driveway leading to the visitor parking. Please don’t park there (or advise guests to park there), as you will likely get towed.

More building 244 patio pavers put back.

I will add a few things the (revised) Prostar notice didn’t mention:

  • Deliveries and mail will still happen.
  • Parking will not be permitted in the driveway area, except for deliveries/mail.
  • Access to the 244 and 248 underground parking will be unaffected.
  • Emergency vehicles will still have access to all three buildings.
  • The closest free parking is on Richmond Street, though there are various free spots available elsewhere, such as Hume Park, etc. and paid parking is available on Columbia Street.
