Speaking of Robins Hill Road, Thames Centre Deputy Mayor (And Mayoral candidate) Kelly Elliott posted a week or so ago about it. She has been asked a lot about the condition of the road, given that the London and Thames Centre boundary runs along it east of Rebecca Rd. She said that the city owns it all the way to Nissouri Rd and she talked with someone from the city while they were at a conference in Toronto a couple weeks back. She said the London official told her that fixing that road isn't on the city's radar for the foreseeable future. It is getting to be in pretty brutal shape, but I can also see the city saying something like "not our taxpayers using it to come to work".

As for the construction going on right now, it's more than just the stretch of Robins Hill north of Huron, it's also RH south of Huron down to about London Machinery that never was finished off. There was also some servicing for the new BE Power warehouse that was just built. They also redid Huron east to the cargo terminal and also redid Dakota Place, where a lot of construction is happening on the airport property. All these streets had only a base coat of asphalt for the last 10 or so years since they were built and were in pretty poor shape themselves, so it made sense to rip out the old rather than just putting a top coat on.
