OpportunityBarrhaven River Run Avenue closes August 24 to 31 for Greenbank work
The signal
River Run Avenue is scheduled to close between Celestial Grove and Burbot Street from August 24 through August 31 for first-phase Greenbank Road realignment work. Affected residents should receive written notice.

The opportunity
The opportunity is clear access information. Customers, staff and delivery drivers who need that block of River Run Avenue between August 24 and August 31 can be told the dates in advance, in plain language, before they arrive.
Why
The closure is published with a start date and an end date, so the window can be written into scheduling notes, booking confirmations and appointment reminders well ahead of time.
Anyone who books appointments, sends crews, or accepts deliveries in that pocket has a fixed eight-day period to plan around. Written notice is going to affected residents, so the dates are already in circulation locally.
No detour route is stated in the councillor's notice, so the useful message is the dates themselves and a request that people confirm access before they travel.
What you could do
If you're starting out
- Note the August 24 to August 31 window in your calendar before you book any work or appointments on that block of River Run Avenue.
- Add one line to your booking confirmations for those dates asking the customer to confirm how you should reach the address.
If you're already in the space
- Tell staff and regular delivery contacts the dates now, rather than on the morning of a scheduled visit.
- Review any appointments already booked between August 24 and August 31 on that stretch and contact those customers about access.
