Spring has sprung!!!

Is it my imagination or is everyone more excited about the coming of spring than usual? It seems to have been the main topic of conversation on the news and amongst people today - I think it has a lot to do with how much people want to feel optimistic and light and happy about their future and spring tends to help with that feeling. It represents new beginnings - a fresh newness that we all yearn for after a long dark winter.
So join me in toasting the oncoming of spring! May we all enjoy the brighter days ahead! :)

King/Liberty Link

Will this come to be say in the next 5 years??? It's a big maybe!! Since it will be created AFTER the Strachan Avenue railway crossing has been been improved then don't hold your breath since that is still in it's planning and debating stages. I remember that in the year 2006 I believe that I was telling people that according to what the office of Joe Pantelone tells me the money has been set aside to do an environmental assessment regarding the potential link from the foot of Shaw over the tracks to enter into Liberty Village. Now I get the Winter 2009 Community Newsletter from the office of Joe Pantelone and the news is the same only it's now 3 years later!!!!
Changes happen slowly over there at city hall!

Pick up the garbage!!

Could it look any uglier outside these days??? As happy as I am that the snow is gone what's left behind is this grey sludge made up of all the garbage that has been littered by the public. It's such a shame because really if everyone made their own effort to just ensure they toss their own garbage into a bin instead of on the ground this time of year would be much prettier!
We should all take on that challenge! No matter how big the city's budget for spring cleanup is if we don't stop throwing our garbage onto the streets our taxes will continue to go into cleaning up all the mess. Do your part & feel good about it!!
