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.

Thursday, August 12, 2010 - You Can Always Learn Something New

Good Thursday morning and welcome back to Dawson Road Today!

Wednesday was a full production day as far as new construction went. The installation of the storm sewers continued with the crews starting the day in front of Roy-Al Rentals and finishing up Wednesday in front of Orbis Property Management. As of last night there were only three box culverts on-site to be installed.  At the pace the crews are working, the suppliers will have to drop off more culverts soon.

With the construction crew concentrated down  the centre of Dawson Road,  the northbound transportation lane is opened for clear sailing. I've noticed that with this newfound openness, motorists are driving faster.  Please drive slowly and be aware of the construction crews and pedestrians.  All the businesses on Dawson Road are open and accessible and would love to see you on Dawson Road Today!
