Construction Ahead!
The City of London will be doing sewer expansion on Waterloo Street from Epworth Ave. to Steele St. as a result of renovations at St. Peter's Seminary. Traffic on Waterloo will be reduced to one lane, starting
October 10, for approximately three weeks.
Street parking on Waterloo St. will be very limited. King's administration is working to reduce the impact on students and staff.
Students, allow yourself more time to get to class during construction. Whether you take the shuttle or drive to campus, expect delays. It will take more time than usual to arrive.
