However, after <br />24years, infrastructure elements are nearing the end of their serviceable life and are <br />showing significant signs of wear and deterioration. <br />The following issues were identified in the master plan: <br />An engineering report identified cracks and leaking of salt and water into the ceiling of <br />the parking garage which increases the costs of garage repairs the longer rehabilitation <br />work is deferred. The waterproof membrane must be replaced to rectify this situation. <br />The physical design of site features, including the stage, fountain, stairs, ramps and <br />damage to the paving surface present significant accessibility issues. <br />The drainage infrastructure, particularly the trench drains, is in poor condition. <br />*** This information is available in accessible formats upon request. *** <br />Please call 519-741-2345 or TTY 1-866-969-9994 for assistance. <br />6 - 1 <br />
