Hey neighbors! 📣

Heads up that the road by the big pond, between Charles Street and Sloan Drive, is going to be closed for 1 to 2 weeks. The construction team, Beale & Inch, is working hard putting in a new tunnel under the CN Rail train tracks. 

There will be lots of big machines around, so it's important to stay safe and keep away from the area. You can still use the road on the other side of the pond. 

Thanks for being careful and letting the workers do their thing! 🚧👷‍♂️🛑
