Station Street Common Update – shovels in the ground in 26 days!
Construction begins on Monday, November 25th. As the traffic and equipment management plan is rolled out – we will keep you informed!
A big SALE on Station Street Common planters and pots
As soon as Christmas Kick-Off is tucked away for another year, construction on Station Street Common begins Monday, November 25th. We have items in the park that are “ours” (the DDBIA has invested some significant dollars in that Park over the years) so the Board has provided us with direction on how to “give back” to our members (as all DDBIA owned items will need to be removed from the Park).
11 cedar planter boxes (each $25 / comes with whatever plants are in them) See Item #1
3 square cedar planter boxes (each $25 / comes with whatever plants are in them) See Item #2
2 round planter pots (glazed ceramic / comes with whatever plants are in them - $30 each). See Items #3 and #4
1 metal arbour ($100) See item #5
1 round concrete pot (comes with whatever plant is in it - $30). See item #6
Please email us here ddbia@downtownduncan.ca and reserve your choice (first come, first served). See the pictures below and give us the number. Please e-transfer the money to us at ddbia@downtownduncan.ca. All items are final sale and MUST BE REMOVED BY November 17th.
