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.

Wednesady, August 18, 2010 - Is the End in Sight?

Good Wednesday morning and welcome back to Dawson Road Today!
Today's random cameo: 
There's been an interest shown in seeing more of the personalities that are involved in this major reconstruction project. So on a regular basis I will try to show pictures, not yet seen on this blog, that will add a face to the job. Let me know what you think. Pictures shown may have been taken any time since the start of the project in mid-April. 

On Tuesday the construction crews worked on continuing the installation of the storm sewers. At the end of the workday they stopped in front of Coffee Time in the Plaza at Speedvale and Dawson. With three days left in this week, it is fully expected that they will complete the installation of the storm sewers this week. I was speaking with some other business owners Tuesday afternoon and some are speculating a quick return to two-way traffic. I have not received any official word about this and rather doubt it. If anyone at Pitura Hussin or the city of Guelph has an opinion on this, please advise.

People on our street are now seeing the end in sight to the construction project. What is left to be done? After the completion of the installation of the storm sewers, Bel-Air Construction will make new curbs on either side of Dawson Road. Then they will contract out to someone else to actually pave the roads. Then they will contract out to someone else to do the finished landscaping. The target date for completion is still September 30 and people on our street realize that that is not too far away.

If you would like a descriptive flyer for the Menu Tasting Buffet coming up August 26th at the QB2 Cafe and Dining at 86 Dawson Road, e-mail me at  plantsforall@ody.ca  and I will e-mail you a full colour copy.

The weather today looks good for both construction and for shopping. The stores and businesses on Dawson Road are open and ready to greet you. So come on down to Dawson Road Today!
