The Contractor will maintain access to your home/business. On several occasions, however, direct access to CR 93 may be interrupted due to large equipment entering and exiting the site. Access will be restored as quickly as possible after the work is completed and the equipment has been removed. The contractor will give prior notice of any access restrictions to the residents.

Pedestrian access to homes and businesses will be maintained during construction. If you have any special needs for wheelchair access please advise the R.J. Burnside & Associates Limited Construction Inspector (Alex Potter).
