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.

The Sturgeon Point Association warmly invites all residents of the Village and their guests to join us in our annual Welcome Back Social in celebration of Canada Day and a new summer season!  Please join us at 12:00 noon on Saturday July 3rd, 2010 at the Park in the Woods for a great opportunity to reconnect with old friends and neighbours as well as a chance to meet new residents in our village.  Enjoy a hotdog, juice, or pop and a dessert while sharing news with those we haven’t seen in a while and making plans for another wonderful summer at Sturgeon Point.    We look forward to seeing everyone there!

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!

The SPA June Newsletter has been posted and should be arriving in your email inbox or your mail box soon. You can read it right now by clicking on the link.

The re-surfacing of Lake Road will start on June 17. For those of you wondering if the stakes planted along the side of the road indicate a much wider avenue, not to worry. The new road will keep its original width. It will just be a lot smoother.

The work should be completed in less than two weeks, according to the City. In the meantime, let’s be patient and careful on our roads while the work progresses.
