Roadwork is affecting traffic in the region

  • Long-term projects: Crews are working on planting and landscaping for the Old Coburg Road Stormwater Retrofit Project this week. There will be minimal impact to traffic. From Monday, September 28 to Friday, October 2, construction on South Garden Way between Kinsrow Avenue and Commons Drive will cause moderate traffic impacts. The southbound lane will be closed, and all traffic will use the northbound lane with flaggers directing vehicles. Pedestrians will be detoured to the east side of South Garden Way. The southbound bike lane will be closed, so cyclists will need to merge with southbound traffic. The northbound bike lane will remain open. Large trucks and equipment will be in the area during construction.
