With Vid: Tough times could mean selling some city parks

Dear Residents:

Council will be asked Monday to approve a recommendation “to begin the public process of surplus parkland disposition,” as well as agree to “undertake” the sale of South Tilston Park...with proceeds allocated to the removal and installation of playground equipment elsewhere.  

For those who may not know, South Tilston is located in the Bridgeview area, abutting Tilston Dr., Secord Ave. and Rankin Ave.  If you oppose this recommendation, please let your voices be heard.  Send me an email with your name and house address and please confirm your opposition in the same email.  I will then forward your concerns to our city councillor and the appropriate city authority.  
You can see the article and video by clicking on the link below.

Sincerely,

Fabio Costante

October 4th Council Meeting

Hi friends,  I wanted to provide a brief synopsis of today's Council meeting as there are some items of interest to residents in the west-end.  First, I am happy to report that Council unanimously supported my committee motion not to remove the streetlights at Brock and Sandwich and at Campbell and Grove. There was an administrative report recommending the removal of streetlights at these intersections, among others, and Council supported my motion to keep them there considering there are two grade schools close by at each location.  Second, we were supposed to discuss and debate the Legacy Beacon project and the Festival Plaza Canopy project today. Councillor Gignac put forward a motion to defer these items until administration reported back on a comprehensive report looking at these two projects together with the Civic Esplanade project that is set to come forward at some point in the future. I supported this motion because I think it gives us a bigger picture to assess...
