Good Wednesday morning and welcome back to Dawson Road Today!
It looks as though the weather may be an important player in how quickly construction work is done. Yesterday started out as a good construction day and then brought everything to a halt late in the afternoon with heavy rain and high winds. In spite of all the heavy rains throughout the evening, it would appear as though we've got off light compared to other areas of southern Ontario. When I arrived back at my shop late last late, it was another fine fall night. There is certainly a difference in the aftermath of a fall rain as compared to the aftermath of a spring rain.
An update on the gas station on Edinburgh Road - I have learned, on my own, that the Rainbow Esso gas station on Edinburgh Road has closed due to the construction. That makes me sad. Sad for the owner/operator, the employees, the customers and the local business community. There is a cost to this $48 million that the city is saving.
On a happier note, the crews keep working on the curbs, sidewalks and boulevard landscaping. The crews from JNF Concrete and Bel-Air Construction seem to work well together. JNF is subcontracted by Bel-Air and they have worked on several other jobs in southern Ontario. On Monday they installed a cement pad to accommodate a bus stop in front of our store, Plants For All at 66 Dawson Road. Yesterday, Linda took this picture of some of the crew members working on that pad cutting expansion slots.
This Friday, October 29, the QB2 Restaurant at 86 Dawson Road will be having another one of their special buffet dinners. The last one was a big success. I see that they changed the menu a bit and they suggest that you phone for reservations. Here is the new flyer promoting this event. Left click to enlarge it to make it readable. You may be able to left click it again to make it even bigger.
I have decided that I will terminate this blog, Dawson Road Today, early next week whether the construction is finished or not. There is not enough new activity going on to advise you about, without the whole thing sounding like a commercial for Plants For All, which was never the intention. I am ready for this project to be done.
My new plant blog is being well received. We have been promoting it at the talks that Linda and I have been doing and by way of this blog, Dawson Road Today. I hope that we can develop it to be more of a two-way, give-and-take communication project. Please visit my new plant blog and let me know what you think Plants For All blog
With Halloween fast approaching it's a very busy time for me personally. We have a Halloween party for our grandchildren and a few friends. I enjoy this time very much.
When you come onto Dawson Road today and enter the construction site you will be directed into the left-hand lane by the orange and black arrow sign. Please drive carefully, especially when exiting Dawson Road into the businesses because the driveway accesses have changed and are changing as the crews finish up the curbs and the sidewalks.
Have a great day on Dawson Road Today!
