Wr want to express our thanks to our customers
who are hating some trouble getting to our station
after the dosing of Hutchings Avenue because of the
detour for the construction of the new bridge.
There are several ways to get to our station and it
is likely that Hutchings \venue will remain open as far
as our station.
Remember, we are still in business and will render
our usual service every day in the week. We invite our
customers to continue to make their way to our station
and during the time when much of our business is
routed around us. we will appreciate your loyal patron-
age.
