Climate Change Emergency and OCA Mitigation
The OCA Board is continuing to support the Enmax solar panel roof project with a potential implementation this May. We continue to look at other climate enhancing opportunities such as bike racks and electric charging stations as part of an expanded car park, growing trees, working with the Oakridge Community Garden, etc. We are also discussing other improvements with ‘Oh My Oakridge’ such as bike routes between green spaces.
District 32
We should have held our next meeting #19 on Thursday, March 9 at 7:00 pm to discuss implications of our LAP postponement. We are in parallel monitoring The Heritage Communities LAP or Growth Plan which is currently in Phase 4. It will be brought forward to the Infrastructure and Planning Committee (IPC) on April 5. Details of the LAP can be found at: https://engage.calgary.ca/heritage and we hope to learn more from their experience.
Oakridge Upgrade Projects
Regarding our list of common Oakridge projects shared with our Ward 11 representatives, we are cautiously optimistic that some of our projects will get approved and implemented, especially the road safety ones. Please also use the City of Canary 311 line or visit https://www.calgary.ca/311.html to document any road safety or infrastructure issues. Please copy the OCA giving us your service request number, so we can evaluate and possibly add to our OCA Oakridge list of projects, mentioned above, that need addressing. If you want to follow up with any service request numbers that do not seem to be moving, please contact office [email protected] and they can support/investigate further, but make sure you have your service request number.
