Good Tuesday morning and welcome back to Dawson Road Today!
Monday was a good day for construction and Dawson Road in front of our shop was a hive of activity all day. The weather was mild and the rain held off, allowing a lot of the concrete work on sidewalks and curbs to be done. Last night was another beautiful evening with mild temperatures, overcast skies and no wind. However, I fear it is the calm before the storm. Today is forecast to be very windy this afternoon with chance of showers or even thunderstorms. We'll have to see how that plays out.
When I got to my shop yesterday afternoon, the crews had rerouted my driveway access in order that they could work on finishing the curbs and sidewalks over the driveway. They were working on the curbs and sidewalks at a few access points along the west side of Dawson Road. The cement work is done by the crew from JNF Concrete Ltd. from London and they are supported by the crew from Bel-Air Construction. These pictures show some of the activity about midafternoon. When they lay so much concrete, they leave some crew on site late into the night to allow the concrete time to set without interference from vandals. When I arrived back to the shop very late last night, I found that to be the case. Just before I left my shop about 6:30 yesterday afternoon I inquired of some of the crew members what the large cement pad was for in front of my shop. They told me it was a bus stop pad. I had forgotten, or never knew, that we were getting a bus stop in front of our shop; but reference to the original drawings presented at the open house before the project started, confirmed that there should be one at that location. I am pleased. The first picture is looking south from my driveway at Plants For All at 66 Dawson Road and the second picture is looking north from my driveway.

Yesterday afternoon I was able to get the posting up to my new plant blog about what we do with our compostable material. This is one of the most commonly asked questions we get from our clients in the offices. I think you'll find the answer interesting. Visit my new plant blog at http://plantsforallblog.blogspot.com
I didn't get any answer back from the City about the status of the Rainbow Esso gas station on Edinburgh Road. Is it closed for good or is this a temporary situation? If you know the answer to this, please send a comment to this post or e-mail me at plantsforall@ody.ca
Monday was a good day for construction on Dawson Road. Each day is getting easier to get around. Come on down to Dawson Road today and see how your tax dollars are being spent and please drive carefully and follow the signs and pylons.
