PUBLIC NOTICE • NEW CONSTRUCTION
NOISE AND DUST CONTROL – TRAFFIC INTERRUPTIONS
The Town of Georgina is experiencing growth and improvements from new development as well as local and
Regional capital works projects particularly in the Woodbine Avenue corridor between Glenwoods Avenue and
Morton Avenue. As a result of construction activities residents and the travelling public may be inconvenienced
from time to time by noise, mud tracking, blowing dust and traffic diversion. Through the normal development and
capital works construction processes Town staff will continue to work with all parties responsible for those projects
to mitigate where possible the impact to all residents of that construction.
Additional information regarding capital works projects may be found at:

Your cooperation and understanding is appreciated.
