Crisis averted — even though it was never a crisis to begin with.
A utility pole that was previously blocking an exit lane from the new Legion building has been moved about two metres east and is no longer in the way.
A photo of the expanded exit lane leading to Tilley Road was recently posted to social media, with many wondering why an arrow was painted leading directly into a pole.
As SooToday reported, the answer was simple: the site is still an active construction zone and the new pavement was placed and painted before PUC could move the pole, as was always the plan.
A PUC spokesperson confirmed the utility pole move was completed on Jan. 18. The new Legion and apartment building is expected to open in late March or early April.
