Lindsay Library Branch - Queen’s Square Park Revitalization Project

Starting the week of Tuesday, May 19, 2026

Additional Notes:

• Clear signage will be posted onsite, directing visitors to the rear entrance.
• The front entrance area will be closed off and barricaded for safety when needed.
• Construction will take place Monday to Friday, 8:00am – 5:00pm.
