Welcome to my blog! MY primary objective is to alert my constituents and others in King Township about issues being reviewed at the upcoming Council meetings. I do this as I believe the quality of Council decisions is enhanced when the public is engaged. I hope that residents will make deputations and/or send emails to Council to express their opinion and/or to ask important questions. Also, I include notice of meetings and events which I think are particularly important. I welcome your comments, whether you agree or not with me, and only edit to eliminate inappropriate language.

At July 8 Council meeting there is a public meeting for an application to build 25 townhouses on Tatton Court (north of King Ridge shopping complex, west of Dufferin). Here is the report. To my mind the critical issue here is noise attenuation: both Alpa Lumber and the Metrolinx rail corridor are to the north of this site. Its evident from the report that the right experts are involved to...
