Council was also told that it will have a significant impact on some properties \u2014 some property owners will lose half of their driveway or road frontage, and trees will have to come down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the years, area residents have expressed safety concerns along the roadway, which has seen a significant increase in development. The roadway lacks sidewalks and is very narrow in certain sections, making navigation difficult and dangerous for pedestrians, including students walking to the nearby school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2025, council agreed to set aside funds in the capital budget for the completion of design work associated with the Chaffey Township Road reconstruction project and approved $1M for the cost of the reconstruction project in the 2026 capital budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brandon Hall, Huntsville Operations Manager, was before council on Monday and said the design work being undertaken is currently paused pending council direction on pedestrian access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Council was asked to provide direction on whether to install a seasonal asphalt shoulder or a permanent concrete sidewalk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following lengthy discussions, council opted for the installation of an asphalt sidewalk instead of an asphalt shoulder, which could have only been used for part of the year. It would be less expensive than a concrete sidewalk, estimated at $2.16M in <a href=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2026\/02\/Chaffey-Township-Road-Capital-Construction-Design-Options.pdf\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Hall&#8217;s report<\/span><\/a>, and similar to the Centre Street N. sidewalk. Council also approved up to $1.16M more for the project to be funded through the existing roads capital budget by reorganizing other scheduled capital projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hall anticipated that the project would move forward this year and be completed either this year or next, avoiding winter construction. About $500,000 of the total project cost will be allocated from development charges. <\/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\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At its February 23 meeting, Huntsville Council gave municipal staff a green light to proceed with the reconstruction of Chaffey Township Road.
