 Good afternoon Rosehill neighbours,

Deliveries on large and/or special trucks via Summerhill Avenue to the Valve House and south end of the reservoir will resume starting Wednesday October 30, 2019 and continue until the end of the project in Spring, 2021. Deliveries will be especially frequent over the following three weeks and then will be periodic.

To make these deliveries, the parking restrictions in front of 91 Summerhill Avenue to 101 Summerhill Avenue will be required. Attached are the Parking Notice #2 which will be delivered by mail to the neighbourhood south of the reservoir and the Parking Restriction Notice #2 which will be placed on drivers' windshields on Summerhill Avenue. I'll post this to the webpage next week.

Unfortunately, temporary on-street parking permits will not be issued by the City's Permit Office.

Please contact me if you have any questions.

Hello neighbours,

Apologies for issuing the following correction to the previous update #25. The sodding that was expected to take place this fall will be moved to another date next year when the weather warms up.
The City's approach in this contract for sodding new grass requires a 60 to 90-day period minimum without disturbance for the roots to establish or "stitch into" the soil. The upcoming cold and fluctuating weather will impact the grass from establishing, and the team would like to ensure that the sodding is successful.
In the meantime, the contractor will be monitoring the soil as the temperatures get colder (and hardens the ground) and rain (to keep the soil saturated) to prevent dust/dirt getting caught up in windy conditions. 
Thank you for your understanding and patience.
