Traffic Interruption - December 16th

12/16/2022

 
Picture
​Traffic is reduced to one lane on Main Street across from the new nursing home today, Friday, December 16th. The outbound lane is closed for street repairs following the watermain break earlier in the week. 

Traffic services are on site to keep traffic flowing smoothly. We apologize for the inconvenience and we appreciate your patience. 

Water System Upgrade 2022

5/13/2022

 
Work will soon begin on upgrading water lines to and from the water treatment plant on Zwicker Lane. The Town is very pleased that this important upgrade to our 1940s era lines is poised to begin. 

Work is anticipated to begin during the week of May 16th and to continue through the end of June. 
Picture
What to Expect
  • Water Disruption - during the week of May 23rd (not Victoria Day), overnight water disruption is anticipated. We anticipate that this will be only one night, but we will prepare for a second night in case it is necessary. It is important that residents do not use water during this time. The specific date of the water disruption(s) will be set by the progress of the work and will be shared via the Town's website, social media, and CodeRED notification. 
  • Traffic Disruption - during the month of June we anticipate traffic disruptions on Main Street in the vicinity of the new nursing home build. Traffic will at times be reduced to one lane and traffic safety personnel will be on site to provide support.
Stay Informed!
We will share updates about this project, including any important dates, through the monthly newsletter, out website, our facebook page, and CodeRED, the Town's mass notification system. If you have questions please contact us directly at 902-624-8327 or inquiries@townofmahonebay.ca for accurate information.

Service and Traffic Disruption

10/13/2021

 

Thursday, October 14th

Picture
Please note that traffic and water service will be interrupted tomorrow, Thursday, October 14th, on Kinburn and Clairmont Streets for the installation of the water service at the new Fire Station. 

Traffic will be reduced to one lane, and some water utility customers may experience reduced water pressure, discoloured water, and possible intermittent service disruption. Town crews are distributing notices to those water utility customers who may be affected.

We apologize for the inconvenience, and we thank you for your patience.

Cherry Lane is becoming a one-way street

9/14/2021

 
On September 29, 2021, Cherry Lane is going to become a one-way street. 
Traffic will enter Cherry Lane from Main Street (across from 466 Main Street) and exit at the intersection of Parish and Orchard Streets. 
Picture
This change is a recommendation from the 2020 Transportation Plan Report to improve safety for residents and motorists. Local emergency services have been advised of the upcoming change and we are looking forward to this being a positive change for Mahone Bay. 

Traffic Disruption & Tree Removal

8/27/2021

 

September 7th starting at 7am

​There is a very large dead tree on Main Street that is being removed on Sunday, September 5th. Due to the size and condition of the tree traffic will be detoured via Fairmont Road and Pleasant Street for this job but we do expect to be able to open one lane of traffic before we are completely finished.
​
Due to the need to avoid vehicular and pedestrian traffic work will begin at 7am. We remind everyone that this tree removal will be an active and dangerous work site and that the public must stay back from the site for everyone's safety.

Calling for Help

6/25/2021

 
Picture
What do you do when you see something that worries you as a threat to life and/or property in Mahone Bay?

If it is an emergency, call 911
If it is not an emergency, call 902-634-8674.

The non-emergency number is routed to the provincial dispatch 24 hours a day, if it is outside of business hours or even if someone in the local detachment can't pick up. If you aren't getting an answer right away, let it ring because that just means that the dispatch office is busy. 

RCMP are never far away and we consistently hear that people don't want to call because they don't want to "bother" the RCMP - you're not. Call if you have concerns. 

Community-Wide Bicycle Route

6/23/2021

 
On Tuesday, June 22nd the Town of Mahone Bay hosted a community discussion about what project(s) would help create a better community for cycling in Mahone Bay. To learn more, watch the recorded session.

Please note that the sidewalk in front of the new Nursing Home build will be closed to the public from May 25th to May 28th inclusive. This is a public safety measure and we appreciate your cooperation as we take steps to keep pedestrians safe.
