Disposition of City Land for Development of YMCA

The City of Belleville contracted Enbridge to relocate an existing gas main that ran through the middle of the property at 355 Bridge St. West, to the northern and western boundaries of the property (south of Bridge Street West) to allow for the future construction of the new YMCA Centre for Life at the site.

The gas main relocation project is now completed and the construction of the new YMCA is expected to start following receiving final approvals.

The City of Belleville is currently in the process of disposing of the City land and donating it to the YMCA. Once the land transaction is finalized, site plan approval and a building permit will need to be issued prior to the YMCA construction proceeding.

Future work in this area will be limited to the installation of new twin sanitary forcemains, as part of the ongoing Avonlough Sewage Pumping Station project. At this time, Bridge Street West will not be widened at this location. It will be widened at the Sidney Street intersection as part of the Avonlough Sewage Pumping Station project in the future. Further updates on this project can be found on the Avonlough Sewage Pumping Station project page.

The New YMCA Centre of Life will be a gateway to future growth and development of the West Belleville Secondary Plan.

This project page will be updated as new information becomes available. Staff plans to post all presentation materials for the Public Information Centre on this page before the event.
