    CHANGES IN BUS ROUTES & THE NEW INNOVATION


    STATION PARK & RIDE Ive heard from many in the community on
    issues with the new bus routes that are increasing their commute times or
    causing concerns. Im meeting with OC Transpo this week to go over all of
    the comments Ive received and see what can be done quickly to improve
    the situation. The Park & Ride was officially opened on Wednesday. It will
    serve residents coming from the north as well as local residents. Ill provide
    details on my discussions with OC Transpo in my column next week and at
    my Town Hall meeting on the 16th. For Route details or to register your views
    please visit OC Transpos website at www.octranspo.com

    KNL LANDS If you use the Goulbourn Forced Road you will see a lot of
    activity over the next few months. Work has started to meet the
    requirements for creating new habitat for Blanding turtles and to prepare for
    development of the subdivisions previously approved for those areas. At this
    time they are first installing a turtle fence along the entire urban
    development area. Trees in lands to be deeded to the City are protected.
    Over this winter about 100 hectares of trees will be removed, a watermain
    installed and some roadwork done, all on KNL lands west of the Goulbourn
    Forced Road. Work on their lands north of the Beaver Pond, with installation
    of services and construction of roads, will start in a few months. Come to my
    Town Hall on Jan 16th for more details and read the updates on my website,
    which will be posted as information is received.

    SNOW CLEARING -

    Mother Nature gave us quite a whammy last week


    with rain, freezing rain, snow lots of each causing slippery streets and

    falling trees. City staff worked in shifts 24 hours a day to open our streets
    and sidewalks and clear fallen trees, but under these circumstances it takes
    time. Cars parked on the roads make this work difficult and results in messy
    streets so if possible keep your cars off the roads, even when there isnt an
    advisory, so staff can do a clean-up and school buses can get through.
    Immediate concerns should be reported to 311 but do not hesitate to call my
    office if you need further assistance.

    SAVE THE DATE Family Day Free Skate Mlacak Center 1


    3pm. Please join us again this year for the Annual Family Day Skate

    through Canada Post. Additional copies are available at my ward office in the
    Mlacak Centre and at my Town Hall meeting for those who dont get nonaddressed mail. A version in French is available on request as well.
