Congratulations and welcome to Rob Ward, our new Ward 11 Councilor. We are excited to have Rob and his team representing our community.
We have been working with the city on two projects. The first is how to address congestion and speeding along Acadia Drive, particularly between the community association building and Southland drive. We are hoping to have an update from them in November. The second and partially related is an initiative to increase mobility and pedestrian traffic along 90th Avenue from McLeod trail through Acadia and down to Anderson Road. Information has been collected over the last several months and a draft of what will be proposed should be available to us soon.
Lastly, with our newly elected council, there will likely be changes to blanket zoning. We will summarize and communicate any changes when made available. The local area plan prior to blanket zoning included the change from RC1 to RC2 thus even if the blanket zoning is reversed or changed, RC2 will be the default zoning for our communities. We had a round of Restrictive Covenants signed in May and if there is additional interest in pursuing this option for your property, please contact me.
Enjoy the holiday season,
Gord Rouse
WRCA Civic Affairs Director
