CITY OF GRIGGSTON PUBLIC MEETING NOTICE 

A city hall meeting has been scheduled to discuss proposed plans for two road improvements, specifically the extension of Marigold Street from Route 103 and the road hazard repairs on Hartford Street. The first project on Marigold Street will be conducted over two weeks while the latter is expected to take five days. The Griggston Office of Transportation Planning has provided funding for both projects. 

The work is expected to cause some disruption to traffic and some disturbances to homes and businesses in the area. The city has already put together a traffic rerouting plan for the duration of both projects and will allow the usage of noisy machinery during daytime hours. 

Please note the meeting details below. 

Date: Tuesday, January 10 

Time: 6:30 p.m. 

Location: Griggston City Hall, Room 5A in basement level one 

This room is fully-accessible for persons with disabilities. 

Representatives from the Office of Transportation Planning, along with project contractors and consultants, will present an overview of the roadwork while providing the opportunity for questions from the audience. Should you have any inquiries about this meeting or comments regarding either project, they may be directed to our senior city planner Lois Oliveira at [email protected].

Dear Mr. Davis, 

I am sending this letter as an expression of my gratitude for the excellent work your contracting company did on the Marigold Street construction work. You and your 10 crew members were a pleasure to work with and were always timely, professional, and knowledgeable. 

Already, there have been a lot of positive reactions about the work you've done from residents and business owners in the vicinity. There have been many positive remarks about the beautiful brick sidewalks that were installed. 

This was now the fifth time for us to hire your company and I am delighted that your business and the City of Griggston have continued our ongoing partnership. I have wired the payment for your contracted services to your company's bank account as per our regular agreement. 

Also, I would like to let you know that my office is working on a similar project for Rosedale Avenue. Nothing is confirmed as of yet, but I should have more details in a few weeks. I would also like to consider your company for this task. It would take approximately the same amount of time as the work on Marigold Street did and would possibly begin at the end of April, Let me know if you might be interested. 

Thank you again, and we look forward to working with you in the future. 

Sincerely, 

Lois Oliveira 

Senior city planner
