W E L C O M E - We're here to help you and us !

Our City and tax dollars are re-constructing Dawson Road and we are expecting great things! On the surface - new sidewalks, bike lanes, better roadways and even trees. Down below - all kinds of new pipes, electrical connections and stuff that will make things work more efficiently.

The work is scheduled to be done by September 30, 2010. Until then there will be lots of heavy equipment moving around. The City will keep all businesses accessible. Check out this blog regularly for helpful updates on road conditions and how to get into tight areas or call us at 519-767-2161 for up-to-the-minute conditions. Dawson Road businesses need your business, to ensure we're still here to celebrate the benefits of this reconstruction project.

Tuesday, November 2, 2010 - Dawson Road Reconstruction is Almost Done

Good Tuesday morning and welcome back to Dawson Road Today! I thought when Halloween was over I would have some breathing space; but I guess the things that were piling up are staring me in the face now.

As you come onto Dawson Road today and into the construction site you will be directed by the orange and black arrow sign to go into the right hand lane.  There was a lot of construction traffic on Dawson Road yesterday. The crew were working in several areas to prepare the access entryways to the business parking lots for paving. As well they were in filling and compacting material in preparation for landscaping. In these two pictures you can see some of the old pavement that has been removed from our parking lot entryway and some piled up base material.

The following update was issued by Guelph Remastered yesterday relating to the Guelph Transit System and to bus route number 22 which services Dawson Road:

Guelph Transit Route 1, 7, and 22 Service Advisory: October 12 - Late November
Due to construction taking place at the 5 points intersection, route 1 Woodlawn, 7 St. Joseph’s Hospital, and 22 Conestoga will be temporarily detoured away from this intersection, travelling on Suffolk Street to and from St. George’s Square. This detour will be in effect at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, October 12.  
The bus stops on Woolwich Street, between London Road and Wyndham Street North will be out of service. A temporary stop will be located at 190 Norfolk Street, serving passengers travelling to St. George’s Square.

The weather for today is going to be clear but cool again. Tomorrow is going to warm up slightly and expected to be sunny. Hopefully, this will make for a couple of good construction days.

I will be terminating this blog with tomorrow's post, even though I anticipate the project will not be done. Rather than leave it unfinished and up in the air, I will post updates to a dedicated page on my new plant blog until the project is in fact done. You can find my new plant blog at Plants For All Blog.  Please check the new blog out now and bookmark it so you can catch the updates when I post them starting next week. Of course, you could e-mail me at any time for an individual update at plantsforall@ody.ca 

I will have some interesting stats about the blog and some background into its development tomorrow.
If you're coming down to Dawson Road today, please drive slowly and carefully, watching for the construction workers and being careful as you drive over the curbs into the business parking lots. And of course, we would love to see you on Dawson Road Today.
