										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>La version française suit</em></p>
<p>I am disappointed to hear that the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board will be removing some of the trees at the rear of Westwind Public School. Their plan is to complete the work between now and April 15, ahead of the bird-nesting season. Additional landscaping work will be completed this summer.</p>
<p>They have obtained a tree removal permit from the City of Ottawa, and the overall plan has been reviewed and endorsed by the parent council and parent community at the school. A 14.25-metre buffer of trees will be kept along the pathway to the north of the school.</p>
<p>I know that their intent is to create more open play space for students, but it is extremely unfortunate that trees will be lost. I have asked the school board to identify other areas on the Westwind school property where new trees can be planted to compensate for the loss of tree canopy.</p>
<p>For more information, <a href="http://glengower.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/westwind-public-school-tree-removal.pdf">please see attached letter from the school</a>. Questions, concerns, and comments should be directed to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Daniel Fournier, Facilities Manager with OCDSB, 613.596.8777 or <a href="mailto:facilities@ocdsb.ca">facilities@ocdsb.ca</a></li>

<h2>École publique Westwind – enlèvement d’arbres à venir</h2>
<p>J’ai été déçu d’apprendre que l’Ottawa-Carleton District School Board va enlever certains des arbres situés à l’arrière de l’école publique Westwind. Il est prévu que les travaux soient achevés d’ici le 15 avril, avant la saison de nidification des oiseaux. D’autres travaux d’aménagement paysager seront réalisés cet été.</p>
<p>Le conseil scolaire a obtenu un permis d’enlèvement d’arbres de la Ville d’Ottawa, et le plan global a été examiné et approuvé par le conseil des parents et la communauté des parents de l’école. Une zone tampon constituée d’arbres sera conservée le long du chemin au nord de l’école.</p>
<p>Je sais que l’intention est de créer un espace de jeu plus ouvert pour les élèves, mais il est extrêmement regrettable que des arbres soient perdus. J’ai demandé au conseil scolaire d’indiquer d’autres zones sur le terrain de l’école Westwind où de nouveaux arbres pourraient être plantés pour compenser la perte du couvert forestier.</p>
<p>Pour plus d’informations, <a href="http://glengower.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/westwind-public-school-tree-removal.pdf">veuillez consulter la lettre de l’école ci-jointe</a>. Les questions, préoccupations et commentaires doivent être adressés à :</p>
<ul>
<li>Daniel Fournier, gestionnaire des installations de l’OCDSB, au 613-596-8777 ou à <a href="mailto:facilities@ocdsb.ca">facilities@ocdsb.ca</a></li>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>UPDATE &#8211; JANUARY 8: </strong>The City&#8217;s planning department has confirmed that Edenwylde is open for public access, connecting Hickstead Way to Fernbank Road. The roads are being maintained (including snow clearing) by the City. That satisfies the subdivision condition, which allowed for the connections between Parade and Hartsmere to be opened. While we&#8217;ve known for a while that those connections would eventually be opened, I am disappointed that more notice was not available to me or the community about the opening of the connections. I will be reviewing the process with City staff to see why that communication didn&#8217;t happen. Thanks to residents who reached out to our office with questions and concerns.</p>
<hr />
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>(Le français suit)</p>
<p>On the weekend, I heard from residents with questions about a road opening between Parade and Hartsmere, and asked the development inspector in our area to look into it.  Here&#8217;s what we know.</p>
<ul>
<li>The road is only open temporarily, due to construction work (curb construction) that the builder is doing for the future road connection.</li>
<li>Barriers will be going back up after this work is complete, likely in the next few days.</li>
<li>There’s a condition in the subdivision agreement that the connecting roads are to remain closed between Hartsmere Drive and Parade Drive until such time that Parade Way/Hickstead Way is connected to Fernbank Road through the future subdivision (Edenwylde) located to the east.  That road project will likely be finished this summer.</li>
</ul>
<p>Even if it was only temporary – I’m disappointed that there was no advance communication to residents, and that the road connection has been left open without proper signage like stop signs, etc. Thanks to residents who brought this to my attention.</p>

<h2>MISE À JOUR : Voies de raccordement entre les promenades Parade et Hartsmere</h2>
<p>Durant la fin de semaine, j’ai reçu des questions de résidents concernant l’ouverture d’une voie entre les promenades Parade et Hartsmere, que j’ai transmises à notre inspecteur de l’aménagement. Voici ce que nous savons :</p>
<ul>
<li>La voie n’est ouverte que temporairement, à cause des travaux (construction de bordures)qu’effectue l’entrepreneur en vue de l’aménagement de la nouvelle voie de raccordement.</li>
<li>Les barrières seront remises en place après les travaux, probablement dans les prochains jours.</li>
<li>L’accord de lotissement stipule que les voies de raccordement entre les promenades Hartsmere et Parade doivent demeurer fermées jusqu’à l’ouverture de celle entre la promenade Parade/la voie Hickstead et le chemin Fernbank, qui traversera le futur lotissement (Edenwylde) situé à l’est. Ce second projet devrait se terminer cet été.</li>
</ul>
<p>Même si ce n’est que temporaire, je suis déçu qu’aucun avis aux résidents n’ait été émis à l’avance et que la voie de raccordement ait été laissée ouverte sans la signalisation appropriée(panneaux d’arrêt et autres). Merci aux résidents qui m’ont signalé le problème.</p>
