Joe Connelly wants to hear from you
Jan 28th, 2010Joe Connelly, Alderman, Ward 6, City of Calgary has launched tellJoe.ca to gather opinions from Calgarians. The surveys on this site will change and its intent is to gather Calgarians’ thoughts on issues that arise on Council’s Agenda throughout the year. This first on-line survey is very timely as Council soon enters budget deliberations.

Hi Joe:
I’m a new resident to the area, having just moved into Springhaven a few weeks ago from West Hillhurst. I love the open skies and sprawling aspen groves in this area and a true feeling of community and neighbourhood. I know my husband and I will enjoy our new home here.
I am writing to find if you have information on the development plans and timing of area immediately behind my home. I live at 136 Strathlea Place SW.
I’ve been able to access a city plan from 2008 and the area of my concern is “Block 8, Zoned R1 living, from the Aspen Woods plan as this backs directly onto my new backyard.
I see earth movers are hard at it already south of 13th Avenue. I think the plans I’ve seen indicate a green space immediately behind our backyard such that homes will no back directly onto our property line, howeve this is difficult to discern. I am hoping the mature aspen trees will remain as these are such a delightful part of this area.
Do you know who I can contact for more information on the new development and construction timelines, etc.? Also, if there are community meetings scheduled for local input.
Thank you very much
Regards,
Wendy
