Where You Are
The two named public roads are Memorial Avenue and Fern Road. The Town's 2025 Community Transportation Plan describes existing traffic-signal operation here, while its transportation study identifies both roads as arterials and the intersection as signalized. The same study places the site in the Village Neighbourhood main commercial area and notes nearby public parking, commercial buildings and public uses. This describes mapped surroundings, not a confirmed tenant or entrance.
Final Orientation
Use marked crossings and verify the destination entrance on site. Signal operation, traffic, transit, parking, accessibility and weather conditions can change during the journey.
