Road Paving Work has Started!
Second Street has been ripped up and covered with gravel, and bottom of Third Street has just started receiving the same treatment. Removal of the old asphalt surface will continue on Monday morning (July 11), and will likely be completed that day. There will be no road work done on Friday or the weekend.
The paving crew is not expected to arrive for approximately one week after the initial roadwork is completed. In the meantime, please excercise caution when driving along Second and Third Streets!
Updated Village Maps
This year we’ve released an updated version of the Sturgeon Point Village Map. This map includes all of the residents’ names, and is a very useful map when trying to identify who lives where within our community. This is not only useful for relative newcomers, but also for those with long generation-scale roots at the Point.
We’ve stepped it up a bit this year by involving the Fleming College Geomatics Institute in the creation of the updated map. With the help of their expertise, we’ve extended the map beyond the traditional boundary of the Village to include all of Sandy Point Road. The new map is in colour, and it is printed on semi-glossy paper at a 18: x 24 format. This map looks terrific and is quite easy to read.
We have a sufficient number of maps to provide one for every house and cottage on the Point. The printing cost at the larger colour format was not insignificant, and so the distribution of the maps will be limited to households with at least one SPA member. Once you sign up or renew your membership for 2011, you can receive a map for you home or cottage.
