Indian Time - A Voice from the Eastern Door

Cornwall, ON – The Cornwall Community Police Service would like to advise the residents of our community of the upcoming traffic detours as a result of the Canada Day celebrations (July 1st, 2016). These detours are necessary in order to ensure the safety of the pedestrians attending and leaving the event. These detours will reduce the interaction between vehicles and pedestrians and therefore reduce the risk or injuries to anyone. Several police officers will assist in redirecting traffic in order to improve the flow of traffic at the end of the event.

The following detours will be implemented at 9:45 p.m.:

• Eastbound traffic on Water Street West will be re-directed northbound on York Street.

• Southbound traffic on Augustus Street will be re-directed westbound on Water Street West.

• Southbound traffic on Pitt Street will re-directed westbound on Water Street.

• Northbound traffic from the Civic Complex will be able to continue north or turn right and go east. No left turn onto Water Street East.

• Southbound traffic from the Cornwall Square will not be permitted.

• Westbound traffic on Water Street East will be re-directed north on Sydney Street.

• Westbound traffic on Water Street East will be re-directed northbound on Adolphus Street.

Please be reminded that parking restrictions will be enforced in order to ensure that emergency services have access to the site at all times in the event of an emergency. All vehicles found in contravention of the parking by-law, will be subject to fines and towing at the owner’s expense. The Cornwall Community Police Service would also like to remind the public that no unauthorized fireworks are allowed within city limits.
