The increasingly bumpy railroad crossing on St. Lawrence Street in Winchester was repaired this week. Concerns were buzzing around the community regarding the originally planned timing of the repairs – all day on August 8 – which could have proven difficult due a conflict with Bike Night.
The Winchester Downtown Revitalization Committee announced last weekend that the Township of North Dundas and the United Counties of SD&G acted quickly when the scheduling conflict was brought to their attention. The repairs to the railroad crossing were rescheduled to August 7 instead. Drivers will surely appreciate the smoother crossing, which had deteriorated over the last several months to the point that most vehicles were slowing to a crawl to drive over it.
