Development wary - Doug Mackay

As a concerned citizen in the South End, I would like to bring attention to something I discovered in a walk through the bush behind Muriel Crescent. I discovered a straight trail was being cut through the bush toward the top of the hill.

As a concerned citizen in the South End, I would like to bring attention to something I discovered in a walk through the bush behind Muriel Crescent. I discovered a straight trail was being cut through the bush toward the top of the hill. It appeared to be a survey line.

If a housing development is being planned, residents of the South End should be informed before it proceeds too far in the planning process.
Residents of this area are familiar with the water and sewage problems that occur regularly. Another development is probably going to cause a serious overload of the system.

It was my understanding there was a moratorium on development until adequate water and sewer facilities were established.

I am under the impression the city will allow the development to proceed to such an extent that it will have no chance of being prevented, and we will see septic removal trucks making weekly visits to South End pumping stations.
