Railway Closure Sparks City Wait and Communcation Gap
Canadian Pacific Railway workers shut Dunmore Road at Kingsway Avenue for two days to replace the crossing. Crews operate 6 am to 5 pm and finish by day’s end. The city learned of the closure only after 8:20 am, prompting CP to acknowledge a public communications failure and promise improvements. Salem Woodrow cited internal railroad missteps. Trevor Funk noted the city was informed a week or two prior.
