Good Wednesday morning and welcome back to Dawson Road Today!
Yesterday was pretty much a wash out with it raining steadily until about mid afternoon. Driving through the construction site early in the morning provided quite a bumpy ride with potholes and puddles courtesy of the heavy rain. Fortunately, in the early afternoon someone from the construction crew was on site to fill in many of the potholes and to reroute the traffic, by way of moving pylons, to jag around the larger puddles. As of Tuesday evening the road through the construction site is really in pretty good shape. However, slow down, take it easy and watch for holes.The weather for today should be cloudy, cool and less rain expected. We'll see how this affects construction getting going again.
I mentioned yesterday that Guelph Hydro was on site. As can be seen in this picture, the hydro pole that is installed at the driveway of our shop Plants For All, is reinforced with a large wooden brace attached at an angle to the ground. Plans call to remove that brace prior to landscaping. In order to still offer support to the hydro pole, Guelph Hydro will be installing another pole on the east side of Dawson Road and running support guy wires to the hydro pole by our driveway. The new hydro pole was delivered and is laying on the ground.
With the municipal election scheduled for October 25th, several all candidates meetings are happening around the city and sponsored by different groups. Tonight, I will be attending the all candidates meeting for the position of Mayor. This meeting will be held at Guelph Place Banquet Hall at 492 Michener Road and start at 7 p.m. The meeting is sponsored by the Guelph Mercury newspaper and Conestoga College. If you can't attend the live debate, it will be live streamed at www.guelphmercury.com and broadcast live at 88.3 CJIQ FM, the Conestoga College radio station.
Battle of the Big Boys: Early this morning just after midnight, a transport truck was coming through the construction site going southbound (the wrong way). It was met face-to-face by a city bus going northbound (the right way). The transport had to back up until it was able to pull over to the side enough to let the city bus proceed. Please, everyone when traveling through the construction site drive northbound only.
It's Wednesday. Halfway through the week. We've had a break courtesy of the weather. Lets get back to it. Make it a good day everyone and we would love to see you on Dawson Road today.
