We just sent out a bulk e-mail to those who signed up for follow-up info after our Syrian Refugee Crisis meeting. If you signed up but for some reason did not receive the follow-up information, we may have entered your e-mail address in incorrectly, so we apologize. And if you didn't have a chance to attend the meeting, we wanted to make this info available to you as well.
Mulvihill Avenue and Lyman Street are set to undergo a major rehab during the 2016 construction season. To get ready, the City is undertaking an assessment of the geological conditions during the week of October 8. They'll be boring holes as part of that work, and for a couple of days there will be trucks in the area. There won't be any traffic impacts.
Thanks to the roughly 100 people who came out to our meeting on Thursday night to hear Mizrahi's plans for re-worked architecture at the 1451 Wellington West site.
Attached is a summary of decisions from the September 16th Committee of Adjustment hearing.
I and Somerset Ward Councillor Catherine McKenney are co-hosting a public budget consultation on October 8. It's an opportunity to share your budget ideas and priorities. The recent measures approved by Council to deal with a budget deficit are indicative of the significance of this fall's budget. Core services and social services are more critical to maintain than ever, but that will be a challenge. I hope all of you will come out that night to collaborate with us on how to build the city we all want.
Just a quick update for residents that we had a good Council meeting this morning. The re-zoning that will allow a mural to be painted at 3 Lowrey passed Planning Committee yesterday, and my colleagues agreed to accelerate the Council vote to today in order to commence work before the snow flies. That passed today with no issues.
