Construction Update: TTC Intersection Renewal Starting this weekend + City Road Resurfacing

The City of Toronto and Toronto Transit Commission will be renewing aging streetcar tracks at the intersection of Lansdowne Avenue and Dundas Street West starting this weekend.

The City will also resurface Dufferin Street from Bloor Street West to Dundas Street West starting September 10, 2018 to November 30, 2018. Our inspection of the road shows that it needs repaving and sections of damaged curb and sidewalk need to be replaced to bring them to a state of good repair.

Motorists are reminded to abide by traffic/construction signs posted in local areas to ensure the safe travel of all local road users, pedestrians and cyclists. This work is required to bring the track infrastructure and City's road to a state of good repair. These projects are part of the Council- approved 2018 Capital Works Program.

Happy Monday Fern Falcons!  And Happy Earth Day.  We will have a running club, open to students of all ages, every Friday morning, from 8:30-9:00am, around the track.  Kindergarten students must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Children in other grades are welcome to drop in and join us, and then will be dismissed when regular yard duty begins at 9:00am.  This is a club, and not a team, there will be no tryouts, there will be no meet/competition. We will be running for ourselves and promoting movement, the joy of running, and healthy habits.  Feel free to join us. Our first running club date will be Friday, May 3rd.  Cheers,  Mrs. Heller and Madame Miya
