Full Steam Ahead is your inside track to the Palmerston construction project - sharing progress, milestones, and what’s coming next.

Follow along as we build, grow, and move our community forward - building a better Main Street. 🚂

10/28/2026

If you have to think twice about how to step over a trench or detour around a back alley, imagine how a senior customer or a parent pushing a stroller feels.

When Main Street digs up, community access takes a hit. On November 9th, we’re bringing in renowned accessibility expert Julie Sawchuck to help Palmerston and Wellington County business owners solve the navigation puzzle.

The Takeaway:

You don't need a massive budget to stay accessible.

Julie will walk through clever, high-contrast wayfinding, easy bridge-gap solutions, and clear communication habits that signal to your community: “Yes, we’re open, and yes, it’s completely safe to come inside.”

Local access to properties within the construction and closure limits is being maintained where feasible; however, temporary disruptions may occur to accommodate ongoing construction activities.

Further stages of construction may require additional traffic controls or full closures. Advance notice will be provided prior to the implementation of any subsequent changes.
