Construction to limit access to Assumption Church parking lot

The reconstruction of the driveway entrance to the Assumption Church parking lot on University Avenue will limit access to half the driveway over the next six weeks, which may mean delays for cars entering and exiting the lot.

Access to this lot will be restricted completely from time to time on Thursday, June 21, to allow for the pouring of new cement curbs and medians.

The most unkindest cut: Contractors made quick work of the former drama building at the intersection of Wyandotte and Patricia streets this week, levelling it to clear the space for the new Welcome Centre planned for the site.
