TREES ON 69 STREET

Do you like trees on our streets like I do? Would you like to see trees on our 69 street going north of 34 avenue? We don't have any trees on our section of 69 street at all. Did you know though that we have trees to the south of 34 avenue, and trees on 69 street north of our complex. These areas not only have trees, they are on both sides of the road and on the center median! And we have none!

I have emailed Craig Burrows, I have emailed Joe Connolly, and our current Alderman Pootsman. Sometimes I got a reply, sometimes none, like now with Pootsman. I will be writing him again and asking him why no reply and why no trees.

Recently the Calgary Herald had a piece in the paper pointing out that the city had far too few trees. Here is a golden opportunity to plant some on our boulevard. The Herald also said the city was doing a good job of replacing trees that had died. Well, you couldn't prove it by me. Look along Sierra Morena Blvd th next time you go to Superstore and look at all the dead and missing trees on the center median.

You can add your weight and support by writing your ward 6 alderman by email if you like, and asking him why we don't have trees on our section of 69 street. You can reach your alderman via email at: Ward6@calgary.ca

 

give it a shot, the only thing a politician understands is tonnage. Lots of people writing on th same subject. So lets send him some of that tonnage and maybe we can get some trees on 69 street.
