The City of Owen Sound Public Works will be restricting traffic on 10th Street West from 1st Avenue East to 2nd Avenue West to one lane in each direction for watermain repairs. This temporary lane closure will be in effect until later in the week.
Traffic can use 9th Street West hill to avoid 10th Street West congestion until the watermain repairs are completed.
The Crosstown Bus route will be temporarily altered beginning Wednesday April 6, 2015, due to the closure of 8th Street East between 4th Avenue East and 8th Avenue East .
8th Street East will be closed to through traffic between 4th Avenue East and 8th Avenue East from April 6, 2015 until the fall for reconstruction. In order to avoid the construction, the Crosstown bus will detour south on 8th Avenue East, west on 6th Street East, north on 4th Avenue East and then back on to the normal route to the Transit Terminal.
No additional stops will be included on the detour route.

The staff from the Water Division have been doing an exceptional job and are continuing to work as quick as possible to have the balance of the frozen services restored to all properties", said Mayor Ian Boddy. "We applaud their efforts!"
The invoicing principles are as follows:
