After the unfortunate passing of the owner of J & R Coins on Westnedge, Russel Barr, in mid-April at the age of 83, the store has officially closed for good, according to on customer who went to the store.
I myself can't handle driving on Westnedge between Romence Road and Mall Drive because of the chaos. In fact, I can think of 5 other things I'd rather do than sit in that construction
The original target date for completion of the Westnedge road work was Labor Day. As that date came and went, Friday, September 21 became the new goal.
If you traveled on Westnedge Avenue in the last week before construction began, you likely saw the orange barrels and perhaps the sign warning to "expect long delays."
Over the years I've been counseled and have counseled on the do's & don'ts of the street. Maybe it's time we laid down the 10 commandments of S. Westnedge.
