Good morning and welcome to Thursday on Dawson Road Today.
Wednesday was a complete construction washout due to the rains and the water on the ground. No new construction work was done. The storm and heavy rains we had last night don't bode well for any work being done today either. However, if they can work today refer to yesterday's post to get the details on what they hope to get done.

So the two big pumps that I told you about are still humming away. They are being used to bypass the sewage around where the construction crews are connecting the sanitary lines from the businesses. These pumps were supposed to be very quiet according to the public information meetings and they are. They emit a very low steady drone. When I stand out front of my store at Plants For All at 66 Dawson Road late at night with very little other noise, these two pumps are quieter than the sound of one transport truck idling in the parking lot at the Customs building which is three times further away from me than the pumps. Good choice.

We received a transit update, related to construction, from the City in an area that affects the other end of Dawson Road where the north end of Dawson connects with Woodlawn Road. "All stops on Perimeter A along Woodlawn Road, between Nicklin Road and Arrow Road, have been re-opened." That is indeed good news.

If you are wanting to turn onto Shelldale Avenue, for example to go to the school or the Norm Jary Park, there is a slight; but important traffic routing change. Coming north on Dawson from Willow watch for handmade "Shelldale" signs pointing to the left. Exit left before the pylons. Otherwise, you'll end up in the northbound traffic lane on Dawson as pictured by the vehicle here. It is only temporary until they finish the west side sanitary hookups. Go slow-you'll find it. dawsonroadtoday.blogspot.com
I hope the construction crews are able to work today because it's going to be great when they are finished, with sidewalks, bicycle lanes and trees. But to repeat what I said before, when it's wet, there is less construction traffic to contend with and that makes this a great day to do business on Dawson Road.
