When building rapidways for generations to enjoy, it\u2019s important to make sure that the end product meets the requirements we set out to build. That\u2019s why you may see work activity in the first couple of years after infrastructure projects are done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deficiencies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything \u2013 from the paver stones on the sidewalk, to the glass in the canopies, to the red asphalt \u2013 is tested, inspected and verified by qualified engineers with a keen eye for detail. Anything that doesn\u2019t make the grade is placed on a \u201cdeficiencies list\u201d that the builder is responsible to remedy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warranty work<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much like when you buy a new house, it can take one or two\nyears for the foundations to settle, and for you to make note of where the\nfinishes are less than desirable. Then the contractor comes back to fix all the\nnail pops and cracks in the drywall, fill any gaps in the molding and repaint\nwhere necessary. It ensures that you are happy with the work, and you get the\nmost out of your home. Warranty work is the same idea for our facilities, stations\nand rapidways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project managers of infrastructure projects call this the warranty work phase <\/em>\u2013 an opportunity to catch any issues so that they can be fixed while the infrastructure is still under warranty – a period of two years. Note that the two-year warranty period starts when the project is handed over to York Region. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It often takes all the seasons in a full year to see how things weather in our climate, or perform once in use. You could see operations such as grinding and smoothing of curbs, fixing paint finishes and filling small cracks and, of course, taking note of anything else that needs work. Some upcoming warranty works may be much bigger, like asphalt replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finishing work<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why this spring on Highway 7 West and along Bathurst & Centre in Vaughan, and on Yonge Street in Newmarket, you\u2019ll see project completion work such as planting trees and shrubs, raised bike lane paving, permanent pavement markings, station finishings like anti-grafitti application, and caulking, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re a regular transit rider, or are considering your first trip on the rapidway, know that we are working hard to provide you with a quality experience \u2013 and infrastructure that\u2019s built to last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
