David and Goliath; Highway 10 & olde base line promised safety upgrades.‏

Posted on Posted in Caledon, Uncategorized

The staff @ Accurate Appraisals would like to thank the Minister of Transport (Glen Murray) and his staff for their promised commitment (spring 2014) to upgrade the traffic lights and ameliorate the environs of the intersection at Highway 10 and Olde base line in Caledon.

Clearly none of this would have been possible if it were not for all those that stringently pledged, voiced or penned their support about the inherent concerns regarding this intersection and it`s adjacent cousins. Knowing that our local intersection is soon to be made much safer, is a wonderful early Christmas gift, to all those that traverse highway 10, thru south Caledon.

We would like to wish everyone and their families the very best for this festive season. May the New Year be healthy, prosperous and safe. A thousand thank-you`s from Accurate Appraisals!
