Upcoming construction work at Adelaide St. Shelter

Dear Neighbours,

We would like to share a quick update about some upcoming activities happening in and around the Adelaide Street Emergency Shelter.

Crane Work – September 4 & 5

The City of Kingston’s Engineering Department is coordinating work with a nearby homeowner that will require the use of a crane. This work will temporarily affect a portion of the roadway on Adelaide St. and the shelter’s parking lot. During this time, shelter staff will need to park on neighbouring streets. Housing staff will be on-site each morning to help facilitate the closure of the lot and part of Frontenac Park.

Excavation Work – Date To Be Determined

Later in September, the City’s Facilities Management & Construction Services (FMCS) team will begin an excavation project to repair rainwater drains that have caused flooding on site. The work will take place in the courtyard outside the building. More details on this project will be shared with you once the schedule is confirmed. Please know that Housing staff and Lionhearts (the shelter operator) will continue to work together closely to keep the site safe and accessible for all guests.

We appreciate your understanding and support as we complete this important work and continue to improve the Adelaide St. Shelter for everyone.

Sincerely,

The Adelaide Shelter team
