BROADWAY & DRACUP

A traffic jam in Yorkton?

You bet.

If you are thinking of travelling in the vicinity of Dracup and Broadway today; make sure you steer clear!

There is some serious construction taking place at the intersection, including what appears to be a clean-up of the vacant lot that used to be a gas station directly across from Tim Horton's.

At one time, I was told Arby's was going up in that spot, but another source indicated the construction was put on hold due to concerns of a labor shortage in Yorkton.

Is Arby's now coming?  Or is it just a clean-up to make the lot more attractive to someone leasing/buying?

While on the topic of restaurants, I would sure like to see the old Harvest Pizza building cleaned up and turned into an Applebee's, Montana's, or Kelsey's style restaurant.  Our city could use something like that, and that's no disrespect to the folks at Yorke House (which I feel is a totally different clientele), Mano's, Melrose Place, etc.

Thoughts?

Back to the construction issue.....is employing a 'flagger' a thing of the past?  It would have been nice to have a traffic director of some sort at that Broadway/Dracup intersection today.
