Gravel Placement Works
As of October 2022, the Town has started its winter preparation maintenance works including the following activities:
- Importing and compacting gravel on existing roads
- Grading existing roads
Background of Udora Roads Capital Project
In June 2021, the Town of Georgina assumed the ownership of roads in the Estonian Summer Homes Association and Kova subdivision in Udora. This includes the maintenance of the roads and addressing deficiencies. The Town is in the planning stage of bringing these roads to an acceptable standard as an all-season gravel road surface. An engineering consultant will complete the field studies necessary to design the upgrades. Residents will be invited to provide feedback during the process. See the estimated timeline of the activities (below) in regard to capital projects, maintenance operations and road assumptions. The Town appreciates your cooperation and looks forward to bringing you these road improvements.
