Re: Borden Ave closure April 10th and 11th
The route the buses will be taking to drop off and pick up students is as follows:
Buses are to turn onto Borden Ave off of Dundonald Dr, once the buses are traveling on Borden Ave they will proceed to the entrance of the first parking lot on the left hand side after the school marked 1820-1834 Borden Ave where there will be a flagman provided by the construction company to help assist the drivers to back into the entrance to turn around for both the morning and afternoon runs. They will then turn right onto Borden and proceed to the Lay-By to drop off and pick-up students. We will notify the bus company of these changes but share this with you if you have any concerns or comments.
We ask that parents not drive on Borden Ave in front of the school to either drop off or pick their kids up on these days given the increase in bus traffic. We also ask that you advise parents and guardians that there may be a slight delay in drop off times in the afternoon for all students getting bused from General Lake P.S. due to the detour on the dates specified.
Our recommendations for walkers/ cyclists are as follows:
- Students that are approaching on Borden Ave coming from the direction of Wolfe Ave should be advised that they are to use the entrance into the school yard at the back of the school by the play structure and parking lot numbered 1690-1711 Borden Ave.
- Students that are coming onto Borden Ave from Dundonald Dr are to continue as they normally would but are to be advised to use extra caution as there will be more bus traffic on these days as the buses will be using this portion of Borden Ave to go to and from General Lake P.S.
Please see attached a list of students that we have attending General Lake Public School that do not have any transportation scheduled. These students are either walkers/ cyclists or the guardians provide their own transportation. If you could please, inform the students and/or guardians that on April 10th and 11th they will not be able to travel completely around Borden Ave due to the presence of a crane and other heavy construction equipment assisting in the construction of new residences.
The construction of the new residences on Borden Ave is an ongoing project, so please expect these changes to be implemented again in the future. If you have any questions or recommendations please do not hesitate to contact us.
