Dear Eric Langton families,
I am again writing to share a brief update on the Eric Langton Elementary Replacement Project.
The district received the permit from Fortis BC this week, and construction of the new school is now underway, starting with excavation and foundation work.
Temporary Closure of 122nd Avenue Pathway
To complete the foundation work without impacting pedestrian safety, the 122nd Avenue pathway will be closed for approximately three to four weeks, beginning Wednesday, September 25, 2024. This path will then be widened and reopened for pedestrians on or before Wednesday, October 23, 2024. (See purple line on map.)
Access Roadway Next to James Best Centre Unavailable
To ensure pedestrian safety, the construction access point off 227th Street will be a NO PARKING zone. The district continues to explore with the City of Maple Ridge the creation of temporary parking just off 227th Street to address the needs of families at pickup/drop-off. We will provide an update once one is available.
