Got this from Mr. Gardner in Public Works:

“All we are moving forward with a meeting next Thursday, Sept 30^th at 6:30 for the Overpass and Wellington Road. This is an informational meeting for citizens to ask questions that they might have on the project and hopefully let the general public know as much information as we can. ”

If you have questions about the project, here’s your chance!
