Certificate Presentation – Nichols Gas Station and General Store

On Sept. 7 I visited Nicholls Esso Gas Station and General Store in Woodlawn to present owner Maher Kraieh with a certificate in recognition of the exceptional service he and his staff provided to their customers in the wake of the devastating derecho storm on May 21, 2022. As soon as the gas station’s own power was restored that evening, staff quickly resumed serving customers amid extremely high demand for gas for vehicles, generators and chainsaws. The lineup for gas was long, stretching down Dunrobin Road. Despite this, staff greeted their tired and weary customers with smiling faces and exceptional customer service. Though they already keep long hours, from 6 am to 10 pm, Nicholls planned to remain open beyond this for any customers in need. Even after Nicholls temporarily ran out of regular-priced fuel, staff offered premium fuel at the regular price, which was truly appreciated by many customers. Nicholls went above and beyond to support and serve their customers during a very difficult time. Thank you!

Renewal of Small Culverts
The City of Ottawa’s stormwater infrastructure benefits all areas of the city – urban, suburban and rural. During major rainfalls and snow melts, ditches and culverts play major roles in diverting the runoff from fields, properties and roadways to creeks, streams and rivers. In 2022, there will be approximately $18 million to support the renewal of drainage culverts crossing city roads across the city, with $10.2 million for renewing or replacing culverts in rural areas.

As part of the City of Ottawa’s annual infrastructure maintenance cycle, rural road culvert replacements will occur to improve drainage and roadways. This work is being conducted to complete culvert rehabilitation/replacements.

What: Work will involve rehabilitation/replacement of the culverts beneath the roadway, and asphalt resurfacing.

Why: The culverts were selected for renewal due to poor condition and end-of-service life. 

When: Construction will start in September 2022 and be completed by the end of 2022. Minor landscape work may take place in spring 2023.
