As many of you have no doubt noticed, on Canada Day Lake Road was transformed into a brand new east-west route along our shore. Smooth and black, it will be easier on our vehicle shock absorbers and hotter under bare feet in the summer. The Royel Paving crew worked hard to complete this stage of the work before the weekend. The short strip along Irene between Sixth St. and Lake Road will be paved on Monday. Rain had left it too soft to pave on Thursday. Royel will be back to clean up the edges of the road where the gravel is banked too high, and they will remove the stakes and pylons that mark the edge of the roadway.
We look forward to further road maintenance on our side streets next year.

Road Report
Road work continues this week after a slow progress last week. The pace has picked up and there is new gravel spread and compacted over most of Lake Road. The lake water irrigation system has been repaired and is now operational. (Kudos to Dave Kennedy for staying on top of that.) Paving is expected to start this week. It is unlikely that the work will be completed for the long weekend, unfortunately. In the mean time, drive carefully!
Road work continues, irrigation system down
Road work continued slowly but surely this week. Work was hampered by some heavy rains, and crews were further delayed by the discovery of several shallow electrical and water lines that were discovered buried under Lake Road. The lake water irrigation system was also damaged and has been turned off. This will be repaired as soon as possible. Check back soon for updates on the progress.
