Apperance of concrete entrance at Victoria Avenue taken on August 31, 2020.

The Victoria entrance is still a work-in-progress. Father Chadi provided the following explanation:

• “We have brought in multiple concrete companies but all refused to fill or just repair the cracks as those cracks wereunfit and dangerous to use and could not be just repaired. (Parishioners have hurt themselves using them in the past). In addition, the stair/steps themselves didn’t pass the present code. The steps were the wrong height and they were illegal. Therefore; they needed to be replaced. And considering the safety of our aging community members first and last; we found it best and fit to replace all concrete steps/stairs with brand new material.

• The railing was all chipped and damaged due to the age of the construction/building which has never being maintained. Therefore; I am restoring it to its original and making it fit to place it back in its original structure

• As for the pillars; they will be put back but I have had some issues with the concrete company and now I am in process of finding a different company to finish the work and re-instate the pillars as well.”

S&G (Appendix E), particularly Sections on Entrance and Concrete were used to evaluate the proposal. Standard 13 notes:
