Guelph Police Navigate Floods, Keep Traffic Moving

0:00It's March 31st. This is Vancouver News Today, AI-powered stories from your city. Early Tuesday morning, heavy rain turns streets and gulf into rivers, forcing drivers to dodge flooded intersections. Police jumped in quick, guiding traffic away from five key spots to keep things moving safely. They hit Edinburgh Road South at Court Right Road West, College Avenue West and Flanders Road, plus Speedville Avenue East with Riverview Drive. River Creek Parkway met Willow Road in the mess too, and Scottsdale Drive crossed college Avenue. No major crashes reported, but folks had to reroute and wait it out, turning rush hour into a slow crawl. Cops stayed calm, keeping drivers informed while the water pooled deep. Police looped in the public works crew right away, who rode out teams to sweep debris and let the runoff flow. That teamwork made all the difference. By 8am, the floods had drained off completely, roads back to normal just in time for the workday grind.
