Public Meeting Now Slated For February

Due to the upcoming federal election to be held on January 23rd. the Oxton-Oriole Pedestrian safety meeting has been postponed until February 2005.

Councillor Walker's office has promised to provide sufficient advance notice [which will allow me time to get a flyer under your your door (buildings 100, 110, 120, 130 Oriole Parkway) with details of the meeting.

Again, the purpose of this meeting is to allow Councillor Walker to gauge the level of public concern over this intersection so your attendance will be crutial if progress towards safety at the corner of Oxton Avenue and Oriole Parkway is to be made!

Please make a special effort to attend. Seee you there!

Regards, Mark

My Computer Blew Up!

Regular visitors to my site might have come to the conclusion "not much has been happening!" Well, it's really because my computer blew up and I haven't had one (and too busy at work these days) so updating the site has been problematic!

We'll, thanks to my fiance who has let me borrow her computer while mine is out of action, I'm back in action so look for regular updating going forward!

Now Even More Cars (2)

Earlier I wrote about the North Hill District Home Owner's Association pressing the city to introduce restrict right turns off Avenue between 7:00am - 9:00am at Hillholmn, Killarney and Kilbarry, suggesting that this will further complicate pedestrian safety.

Well it seems nobody could agree on the changes so the idea has been postponed. We'll see what happens in the future.

Now Even More Cars Onto Oxton Avenue...

The North Hill District Home Owner's Association is pressing the city to make road changes that will push even more traffic onto Oxton Avenue (which already sees 20,000 cars a day).

Basically, they want to introduce restrict right turns off Avenue between 7:00am - 9:00am at Hillholmn, Killarney and Kilbarry, further complicating pedestrian safety at the corner of Oxton-Oriole.

To learn more about this proposal visit Councillor Walker's web site.

Stop Sign Deferred Indefinitely...

It looks like stop sign at Oxton-Oriole has been deferred indefinitely at Community Council (the speed limit change not being a problem) and will be referred back to the works committee for their next meeting January 11, 2006 by Councillor Walker...

Again, we thank Councillor Walker for his efforts on our behalf.
