Good Wednesday morning and welcome back to Dawson Road Today!
Tuesday was a productive day on Dawson Road. The weather held good all day even if it was hot in the afternoon. The crew were able to finish the installation of the storm sewer in front of Plants For All. They moved on to finish the installation of the storm sewer in front of Hanlie Carton. They finished up their day right in front of Roy-Al Rentals, where they will start work today.
What a difference a day makes. I showed you yesterday (and above) what Dawson Road in front of my driveway looked like at the end of Monday. At the end of yesterday, the terrain is completely different - take a look.
To the other businesses between us and Speedvale Avenue, just a note - when the crews get in front of your building to do the storm sewer installation it may be disruptive but it will only be for a short time. They are doing this major work very quickly.
I was pleased to get a comment to yesterday's post and I allowed it to be listed exactly as posted. I wish I had of thought of doing that. You can read the comment by going back to yesterday's post and click on the comment highlight at the bottom of the post. Your comments are very much appreciated.
Guelph Transit issued an advisory of the change to route number 22. Even though the area affected by the advisory is not on Dawson Road if you travel on Route 22 it will affect you.
Guelph Transit Route 22 Detour: August 12, 5:45 p.m. – August 13, 8:15 a.m.
Due to construction taking place on Speedvale Avenue West, between the Hanlon Expressway and Imperial Road, route 22 will be detoured from regular route effective August 12 at 5:45 p.m. Regular service will resume on August 13 at 8:15 a.m.
The bus will detour from regular route on Speedvale Avenue West at Lewis Road, turning right on Lewis Road, left on Massey Road, and right on Royal Road where it will return to regular service.
A temporary stop will be located on Lewis Road at Massey Road.
The following stops will be out of service:
- Speedvale Ave. W. at Lewis Rd.
- Speedvale Ave. W. at Marksam Rd.
These changes will be effective Thursday afternoon and Friday morning. Oh yeah, this Friday is Friday the 13th and it is the only Friday the 13th we will have in 2010.
I have noticed myself and from discussions with the construction crew that more people are trying to travel southbound either in the transportation lane or in the construction lane. I took this picture, late yesterday afternoon, of a lady in a small black car who tried three times to go southbound on the northbound transportation lane. Each time she was met with traffic coming northbound. She finally got the message, turned around and went northbound in the right direction. For your own safety and the safety of the construction crew, pedestrians and other vehicular traffic, drive northbound only from Willow Road to Speedvale Avenue and on the transportation lane only. We are less than two months away from project completion.
That's it for now, lets make it a good day.
