April 8-9 Borden Ave Road Closure

Re: Borden Ave closure April 8th & 9th, 2014 Due to the closure of Borden Ave to assist in the delivery of new residences in this area Tier 2 buses will not be able to access General Lake Public School lay-by effective April 8th and 9th for pick-up and drop-off. The route the buses will be taking to drop off and pick up students is as follows: Vehicles will need to access General Lake P.S. by turning onto Borden Ave off of Dundonald Dr. Once the vehicles are traveling on Borden Ave they will proceed to 2080 Borden Ave where they will make a left hand turn at the parking lot entrance onto a gravel road provided by the construction company connecting the PMQ lot and the teacher parking lot (a flag-man will be provided to assist in this detour). They will proceed into the teachers parking lot (which will be kept clear of parked vehicles) and drop off students at the school (where a staff member will be waiting) and then turn in the lot. We ask that you please advise staff that they will not be able to park in this parking lot and are to instead use the lot on the opposite side of the school accessed off Wolfe Ave. The construction company will keep this section clear for staff to access the lot. 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 that they instead use the entrance at the back of the school by the play structure and parking lot numbered 1690-1711 Borden Ave accessed off Wolfe Ave. 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 enter the school via the teachers parking lot and are 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 advise parents they may want to consider supervising walker/bikers on these days as there will be a lot of heavy equipment.
