I would just like to highlight what has been happening/going on behind the scenes this past month, in no particular order:
We hope everyone had a wonderful summer! Just a reminder to be extra careful in playground zones as students are still building new routes and routines.
Thank you to all the volunteers who helped with our Community Cleanup. Special thank you to Rosa M. for organizing this event once again! It is a great event that draws everyone together.
Sarina Homes held their final engagement session on their Richmond Green development. They have tried to address concerns with regards to overlooking and will be planting more trees than they are required to. They are providing more than the minimum required parking and have adjusted the exterior finishes to blend in better with their surroundings. They have included a cafe at the corner of Sarcee Road and 33 Ave SW as requested by residents. They have also incorporated a right in/right out access point at the end of Hampton Crescent to help reduce traffic backup as people are turning onto Sarcee Road. While very few people were in favor of selling the Richmond Green Regional Park space, Sarina Homes has made an effort to minimize the impact on the surrounding community, and we appreciate their engagement.
We have not received any further updates with regards to timelines for upgrades to the remaining park at Richmond Green.
The City has done additional engineering on our hall floor failure, but no further updates or timelines have been provided. Lack of progress may reduce the amount of provincial grant funding we are eligible for, and this causes further frustration as you can imagine.
Please keep an eye open for the official date of our AGM. It will likely be either the 18th or the 25th of November and will need to be held in the Skateshack again. The date will be set at our September board meeting. We hope you will join us for our November AGM.
Happy fall! We look forward to seeing you out and about in the community.
If you have not already signed up for our email updates, please do so at our website, www.rutlandparkcommunity.com. The City often gives us very short notice for upcoming events, and this is the quickest way for us to reach you. Please also join us on Facebook at Rutland Park Community Association. Thank you for your ongoing support.
