2025 Queensborough Shoreline Rehabilitation Project - Location 2
Nightwork Nov 3 to Dec 19, 2025 (weather dependent)PROJECT UPDATE
November 2025
lease be advised that the Engineering Department will be issuing a Noise Bylaw Variance to JJM Contracting to permit night work as part of the ongoing Queensborough Shoreline Rehabilitation project behind the Starlight Casino.
Due to limited low-tide windows required for in-water work, a portion of this project will be completed overnight at the lowest tides for November and December. This work is in the industrial area behind the Starlight Casino and Tree Island Industries.
Night Work Details:
- Contractor: JJM Construction
- Dates: November 3 to December 19, 2025
- Work Hours: 7:00 p.m. – 5:00 a.m.
- Scope: Reconstruction of critical dyke infrastructure in the commercial and industrial area behind the Starlight Casino.
PROJECT DETAILS
Construction of Location 2 of the Queensborough Shoreline Rehabilitation is scheduled to begin in October 2025, with final completion expected in Winter 2026. This phase builds on the successful stabilization works completed in Location 1 and continues the City’s commitment to enhancing shoreline resilience along the Queensborough foreshore.
The Queensborough Shoreline Rehabilitation Project focuses on rebuilding and reinforcing a section of the dyke to enhance its structural stability and resilience. The project involves the removal of invasive plant species, unsuitable soils, and outdated materials, followed by the import of structural fills and rock to strengthen the shoreline. These improvements are critical for protecting the dyke against erosion and ensuring its long-term reliability for flood prevention.
In addition to the structural enhancements, the project includes a comprehensive re-vegetation plan. Native and non-invasive plant species will be introduced to restore the natural environment, enhance the ecological health of the shoreline, and improve the visual appeal of the area. This rehabilitation effort reflects the City’s commitment to sustainable infrastructure and environmental stewardship.
Construction of Location 1 was completed in July 2025. The work included removing unstable timber and debris, reshaping the slope, placing geotextile and protective rock armor, and implementing native shoreline plantings. These measures have strengthened the dyke, improved habitat function, and enhanced visual quality along the waterfront.
Before After
PROJECT TIMELINE
Construction for Location 2 will begin in October 2025, with work continuing through the fall and into Winter 2026. The project is expected to take approximately 4-6 months to complete, depending on weather conditions and tidal access.
Work will be carried out in stages to limit disruption to nearby residents and protect environmental features along the shoreline.
WHAT'S NEXT?
As construction begins on Location 2, the following activities are expected in the coming weeks:
- Contractor mobilization to the site, including equipment delivery and staging
- Installation of construction fencing along the shoreline work zone for public safety
- Temporary parking restrictions in adjacent areas to accommodate machinery and materials
Regular updates will be shared as work progresses through Fall 2025 and Winter 2026.

Rotary Crosstown Greenway (5th - 8th Street)
Anticipated completion: January 2026Project Update
November 10, 2025
Thank you to residents for your patience over the weekend while crews placed concrete for sidewalks, curbs, and driveways along the south side of Seventh Avenue. The weekend work was necessary to recover time lost due to rain in previous weeks. Weather permitting, crews will complete the remaining concrete installation along the south side of Seventh Avenue between Fifth Street and Eighth Street early this week. During this time, paving of the new bike lanes on the south side of the street will also take place which will end the cycling detour on Hamilton.
During construction, there have been some delayed or missed waste collections in the area. Strata and multi-family buildings are asked to report these issues directly to their waste collection provider so they can propose an alternative collection method, such as a bin pull-out. Single family homes with missed collections should report this directly to the city through the web portal: Report Missed Collection
Construction crews remain on site to assist waste collection drivers as needed. Traffic control personnel are available to direct traffic, act as spotters, and temporarily move barriers to help facilitate access for collection vehicles.
September 26, 2025
The City would like to thank the residents and strata councils who reached out with their concerns during construction on the Rotary Crosstown Greenway East Project. In response, measures have been put in place to address wrong-way traffic, pedestrian safety, and waste collection. Our team has coordinated with the waste collection provider and the on-site contractor to implement the requested adjustments, including gravel improvements at driveways and support from on-site Traffic Control Persons. Waste collection service will return to its regular schedule within the next few collections.
The contractor has also increased signage, improved pedestrian barriers, and is working to expedite the installation of new sidewalks to permanently restore access. Cyclists are asked to follow the posted detour along Hamilton Street. We appreciate the community’s patience with the temporary pedestrian, cyclist, and vehicle detours while this important work is completed, a critical final step after many years of disruptions on Seventh Avenue.
Project Details
The City of New Westminster is enhancing the Rotary Crosstown Greenway along Seventh Avenue between Fifth and Eighth Streets to provide a safer, more comfortable, and attractive route for people of all ages and abilities to walk, bike, and roll.
As part of this work, the corridor will be upgraded with protected bike lanes, improved pedestrian crossings, new landscaping, and refreshed road surfaces. A mid-block raised crosswalk between Sixth and Eighth Streets will increase safety and visibility for pedestrians. The design reflects feedback gathered through public engagement and supports the City's broader goals for active transportation and accessibility.
Construction is now underway and will be completed in phases to minimize disruption.
