Thank you for your patience as we completed our test section for Dust Control earlier this month. At this time Council is pleased with how the test section using the RAS (Recycled Asphalt Shingles) for dust control on Colborne Ave and the small section of the East Grid is working so far. They will continue to review and see how it holds up over the fall and winter and what it looks like again in the spring in terms of sustainability and maintenance. It is Council’s intention that if all goes well and it holds up as expected, to expand the Dust Control program next spring to additional roads and start it sooner as well.

Public traffic can expect minor delays and disruptions to their normal travel schedules as traffic will be accommodated through the work one using one way traffic and a reduced speed of 60 km/hr.
