Overview

Udora Roads is a multi-year gravel road reconstruction in the Ravenshoe Road, Victoria Road, Old Shiloh Road and Weir’s Sideroad area as per the below map. Construction of gravel roads will occur in phases, typically within the defined quadrants. The priority and timing of construction projects are subject to change due to changes in operational practices and needs.

The timing of construction is planned over the next approximate ten years. The construction projects are subject to Council approved budget.

September 2025 - arborist works

The Town is completing a tree inventory and arborist report to assess the trees in the southeast quadrant (Estonian Road, Kalevi Road, Sulevi Avenue, Narva Avenue, etc.). This work is to assess whether trees can be retained or must be removed as part of the road reconstruction works.

Trees will be tagged on the Town right-of-way and near property limits. Tagged trees are only to identify trees in the field, and do not mean they will be removed. The arborist recommendations will be included in the upcoming construction project.

If any privately owned tree will be pruned or removed, the Town will reach out to the corresponding owner in advance of the works.

September 2023 - Council report and presentation

There was a report and presentation to Town Council on Sept. 27, 2023. The report and presentation focused on the works completed to date in the Udora Roads area, presented the preferred alternatives and recommended moving forward with the next phase in the project.

Background information

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 started the engineering design phase in 2022. This included a public information centre meeting to receive feedback from the local residents. A strong theme received was to retain the cottage-like feel of the subdivision, and to minimize disturbances such as tree removal.
