As part of the work on Chemin de la Rivière, the Municipality will soon proceed with the stabilization and protection of the Gatineau River bank.
For this reason, all docks and infrastructures (ex. stairs, access ramps, etc.) within the work area must be removed by January 1, 2023. Despite various attempts, the Public Works Department has not been able to contact all affected dock owners and is therefore issuing a notice to all to identify them.
In the absence of a return from the owners concerned, the Municipality will have to proceed with the removal of the docks itself, and this, while waiving any responsibility for damage that may be caused to them.
The docks to be removed due to the work are located on six different sections identified below.
The duration of the work is currently estimated at 6 months. However, several factors could modify the initial schedule. Once the rehabilitation project is completed, residents wishing to proceed with the reinstallation of any docks will be required to submit a formal permit request to the Planning and Sustainable Development. This is essential to ensure the compliance of the structure and to ensure that the standards in place to protect our shorelines are met.
If you are concerned by this notice, you can contact the Public Works Department at 819-827-1160 from Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. or by e-mail at travauxpublics@chelsea.ca.
