Good Monday morning and welcome back to Dawson Road Today!
The last weekend of the summer of 2010 is now behind us. The weather turned out better than was predicted, so I hope you were able to take advantage of it. The construction crew ended last week on Friday working on the storm sewer hookups down by Rona Cashway. At the start of work this morning the weather will be cool but sunny and Dawson Road is wide open for your traffic. This photo shows Dawson Road at the start of construction this morning. The road surface is rough so take it easy and follow the pylons on your trip from Shelldale to Speedvale Avenue. The heavy dust that we were experiencing late last week seems to have been settled at least for the time being by the rain we had late Saturday afternoon.
On my walkabout last evening it was apparent that the underground utility locator crew was on site over the weekend repainting the ground with the location of the services underneath. There were also wooden stakes installed on the property lines. Some of these markings and stakes are shown in this photo. With most of the underground work now complete the construction project will turn to site cleanup and preparation for curb installation, road surfacing and boulevard landscaping.
The City of Guelph issued two Guelph Remastered notices late last week that affect our area:

Work on underground water and sewers requires a 3-week road closure on London Road. This work is part of the road reconstruction taking place on Edinburgh Road between Speedvale Avenue and London Road.

Steer clear.

This means that Edinburgh Road will be closed from Willow Road to London Road from now until approximately October 12. If you are traveling south on Edinburgh road from Speedvale Avenue, you will be able to turn right onto Willow Road; but you will not be able to proceed through the intersection on to London Road.
The second of the Guelph Remastered notices came from the Transit department regarding changes to the Route 22 bus route caused by the closure mentioned above on Edinburgh Rd.
