The cost is now expected to land at $1,240,395, including expanding storm sewer drainage in the area which consists of a main drainage trunk for the town, &#8220;to a larger diameter to account for anticipated additional water drainage as a result of climate change,&#8221; stated Uukkivi in his report to council. &#8220;The work [of] restoring and rehabilitating Veterans Way also provides the opportunity to bring Veterans Way in line with the Council approved Urban Roads Standards (sidewalks, lamp posts\/lighting, etc.),&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said an increase in the cost of materials, labour as well as contractor availability (as only one contractor bid on the project which needs to be completed before winter maintenance begins) were all part of the rise in the cost of the project. &#8220;The Veterans Way rehabilitation project costs are partially offset by a Canada Community Building Fund grant ($628,467) with the remainder of the project costs, to be funded through the Roads Capital Reserve,&#8221; he stated. &#8220;When the actual value of the project exceeds the budgeted value but remains in the overall budget for the type of project, it means that staff are not able to complete as many of the projects as were contemplated when the budget was created,&#8221; adds the report. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ll anticipate every town block to cost a million dollars from now on\u2060\u2014scary,&#8221; said Huntsville Mayor Karin Teriziano. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Veterans Way is 380 metres in length and runs west from Brunel Road to Centre Street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find Uukkivi&#8217;s full report <a href=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2022\/10\/Veterans-Way-Construction-Progress-and-Budget-Update-12.pdf\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">here<\/span><\/a> (pdf). <\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The rehabilitation of Veterans Way is costing substantially more than anticipated.
