Good point George, debate has taken place and since I was absent I would appreciate a moment, to at least try to do what I said to my neighbours, that I would do - change the plan.

If this neighbourhood can get one line on this plan changed, would it not speak positively about the Master Plan and the city's sensitivity to its residents?

Regards

Jim Routledge

Hi Jim,

As you are aware the committee discussed this item at the last meeting and potential solutions, which included possible deletion. The committee decided the best option would be to leave options open and if/when the property develops that discussions with the neighbourhood take place to see if traffic calming measure can be implemented or potential disconnection of Parkwood Drive. I am happy to clarify the debate with you in person and Mr.Foy can clarify how the potential traffic mitigation may work as well. Therefore, since debate has taken place on the issue, I would like to see the committee move forward with the direction given.

Sincerely,

George Anderson
