Good Monday morning and welcome back to Dawson Road Today.
Today is the first day of summer, today is the first day of the week, today is the longest day of the year, today is the first day of the next phase of construction. Today is the first day for a lot of things so let's make it a good one.

I hope you had a good weekend; the weather was not nearly as bad as they had forecast. Another Father's Day has come and gone and I was lucky enough to spend time with both my boys.
This construction update from on-site inspector Charles Groen "The contractor completed the sanitary tie-ins at the intersection of Speedvale Avenue and Dawson Road Friday. They needed to give the freshly poured concrete in the manholes at least a day to dry out before they can remove the temporary sanitary bypass.
The contractor was on site Saturday morning to clean up the temporary sanitary bypass. They will not be able to open up the intersection until today as they need their electrical subcontractor to switch back to the normal signal lights (they will need to bag the temporary light). Today the contractor will start to remove the existing sanitary sewer which is to be removed and disposed of off site. They will start the removal from Speedvale Avenue and will complete the sanitary services to the businesses on the northeast side of Dawson Road as they advance. At some point (later next week) the contractor may split their forces and have one crew start the 10" watermain; and that will also start at the intersection with Speedvale Avenue."
Once again my thanks to Charles for his regular updates to keep us informed as to what's going on and what we can expect. You read it right, some crew were working Saturday morning to get things cleared up quickly for Monday. This next phase starting today looks like it should be a big job.dawsonroadtoday.blogspot.comDriving beside the construction's site a couple of times last night, I noticed that all of the Dawson Road businesses accesses are open. The big orange pumps that were on Speedvale Avenue Friday are now sitting down on Dawson Road again.
You may have noticed that I moved the slide show up to the right sidebar. I think you'll find it more useful there. You can stop the slide show and enlarge any picture you want by clicking on it. Give it a try. If you would like your business included e-mail a JPEG picture to me at plantsforall@ody.ca dawsonroadtoday.blogspot.comThere is a media event happening Tuesday at the QB2 Café and Dining at 86 Dawson Rd. They have arranged for Rogers TV and the Guelph Tribune to be on site over the lunch period. Support the Dawson Road businesses because any advertising one does is good for all of us. We have quite a diversity of business here on Dawson Road and they're all open and accessible. The construction crew is deliberately making an extra effort to keep traffic moving efficiently so that you can safely and quickly get into the businesses.
No groundhog pictures yet.
Today's weather is looking pretty good, we look forward to good progress and we look forward to seeing you here on Dawson Road Today.
