Section of Gordon Street to Close Sept. 4

Gordon Street will be closed between Stone Road and College Avenue on Sunday, Sept. 4 from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. for residence student "move-in" day at the University of Guelph.

This closure is being done to reduce traffic congestion as more than 3,000 new students move into the University’s residences. The road closure and detours will be clearly marked to assist people driving in the area.

In addition, access to South Ring Road will be limited to use by new students only on this day, along with parking lots P31, P13, P17, and P19. Access to the section of South Ring Road that runs behind the OMAF building will also be restricted to move-in traffic only.

To reduce congestion, members of the University community are encouraged to avoid coming to campus on this day. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Campus Security Services at (519) 824-4120, Ext. 52245.
