Cornwall - July 19, 2014 - At Cornwall Square, one of our top priorities is the safety and well-being of our patrons, tenants and the broader community we serve. Being responsible for our facility and to the people we do business with is a key principle and it underlies everything we’re doing at Cornwall Square.

The project to replace the pedestrian bridges which connect the parking garage to the shopping centre is well underway. The future work continues to follow a strategic plan that adheres to municipal and provincial guidelines, prevailing codes, and standards. The owners of Cornwall Square have demonstrated their commitment to the Shopping Centre’s future and to the community by making a significant investment to the property.

Cornwall Square has undertaken a coordinated communications effort to inform everyone interested in this project. Below are questions and answers that may address some of your concerns. We encourage you to visit our website for more information at CornwallSquare.com.

What is happening with your parking garage and pedestrian bridges?
We are in the process of replacing the pedestrian bridges from the parking garage to the mall. Safety during this project is a top priority. The work on the parking garage at Cornwall Square results from ongoing planning and management. Everything we are doing and everything we plan on doing will be guided by a reputable national engineering firm. The scope and requirements of the project requires that we work with our governmental partners.

What is the status of the pedestrian bridge replacement project?
The pedestrian bridge replacement project is on schedule. Phase one of the project (East bridge replacement) has reached the stage of reopening to pedestrian traffic; there will be minor cosmetic elements that will be completed in the upcoming weeks. Near the end of August, there will be a temporary closure of the East bridge to allow for the installation of waterproofing membranes; this will be completed once the West bridge has re-opened.

What is the next phase of the pedestrian bridge replacement project?
Phase two (West bridge replacement connecting parking garage to Sears) is planned to begin the week of July 21st. The West bridge replacement is planned to be completed by the end of August as it encompasses a smaller scope of work. Once the bridge replacement project is completed, the fire lane will be reopened to allow for full two-way directional traffic flow.
Will there be any other construction scheduled on the parking garage after the bridge replacement project is complete?
The owners of Cornwall Square continue to work with a reputable national engineering firm and will continue to follow the multi-year preventative maintenance plan. There are additional projects scheduled for 2014; these projects will be less intrusive to pedestrian and vehicular traffic flow.

Should I be worried about using the parking facility during the construction project?
Absolutely not - safety is and will continue to be a top priority. At Cornwall Square, the safety and well-being of our patrons, tenants and the broader community we serve is of utmost importance. As part of the management of the parking facility, we have met and will continue to meet with the representatives of the government. The engineering firm will continue to work with Cornwall Square during the implementation of the replacement of the pedestrian bridges and the on-going repair of the parking garage. The existing and ongoing work will follow a strategic plan that adheres to municipal and provincial guidelines, prevailing codes, and standards.

How do I find out what is going on?
We will continue to undertake a coordinated communications effort to inform everyone interested in Cornwall Square about what we are doing with the parking garage projects. Should you have any questions about the parking garage and pedestrian bridges, please contact the Property Manager directly so we can share the facts with you.
