Canal Fest of the Tonawandas' Inc. and the Cities of Tonawanda and North
Tonawanda present the 2010 Canal Fest.
Not only is the Canal Fest, one of the longest running traditions in the Tonawandas, but it also helps approximately 40 different non-for profit organizations to raise funds for their operations.
Local Businesses, Politicians and Organizations alike benefit from the exposure, and fun of the events, such as a auto show, flea market, craft show, parade, and just being out in the summertime with many thousand friends and neighbors from near and far throughout Western New York. The Canal Fest is located on the North Tonawanda and Tonawanda banks of the Erie Canal and in the downtown area.

Monday Morning Traffic Summary
Good Monday Monday Morning Everyone (Quickly Dodging a coffee Cup). Well, the drive in to work so far is decent, approximately 71 degrees out and the sun is just rising behind some very light clouds.
From where I am currently sitting, on the Patio at McDonalds on Niagara Falls Blvb at Maple, (Next to Delta Sonic and the Boulevard Mall). The traffic is light and moving well, The construction on Maple is coming along well, as we can see one of the two lanes, the (Westbound) has been resurfaced.
SCRATCHING THE SURFACE
Currently in Tonawanda, NY resurfacing is being completed on Clinton Street from nearly Niagara Street (Near Tops) around Clinton Park and past Fletcher to Hill Street (think Tonawanda Dome Restaurant) area.
LOW CLEARANCE AND LIGHT LOADS
For those who did not already know, there is a new weight limit of 5 Tons on Young Street as you bear right to access Young you will see the sign. Local deliveries are acceptable but truckers should be mindful of the low railroad bridge that usually gets hit once or twice each summer.
TWO WAY STREET - HAVE IT YOUR WAY
Morgan Street between Delaware and Young is now two way traffic now. Burger King must have gotten sick of drivers cutting through their parking lot to cross over from Delaware to get onto Main or Seymour.
That's just a presumption.
34 A Metro Bud for Audubon just past and is on time.
Current time is 7AM - have a great morning everyone.
