Staff will be installing water barriers throughout the downtown core on two separate weekends in May. The first installation window is betweenMay 3 and 4. The second installation window is between May 17 and 18.

Businesses participating in the program will occupy on-street parking spaces primarily along Wyndham Street North, Macdonell Street and Carden Street.

Bicycle lanes will not be affected. However, there will be increased truck traffic as workers offload the barriers.
