important changes to the Tannery intersection

Once Davis has re-opened at the GO rail track on Tuesday, May 19, there will be permanent changes to how motorists access the Tannery and the Seniors’ Meeting Place/Chamber of Commerce intersection.

What you need to know:

• When making a left turn from Davis into the Tannery or the Seniors’ Meeting Place/Chamber of Commerce, drivers will now only turn left when the dedicated left-turn arrow is illuminated
• Drivers will be able to make a U-turn at the intersection to access mid-block destinations when the dedicated left turn traffic signal is illuminated. Please follow the posted U-turn permitted signs
• For more information about how vehicles will navigate at intersections on Davis, please watch the new intersection turning movements video and visit vivanext.com

While Davis Drive is detoured at the GO rail track from the last evening GO train on Friday, May 15, until the early morning of Tuesday, May 19, you’ll still be able to Shop Davis and get to where you need to go.

Police officers and directional signs will help you navigate around the local detour to ensure you reach your destination safely and as quickly as possible.

The long weekend is a great time to come out and support your Davis Drive retailers. During this temporary detour at the GO rail track, the shops, restaurants and services along Davis will maintain their regular hours.
