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.

Street Names in Nobleton
On January 29 Council agenda there is a staff report recommending street names for a development south 15thSDRD and east of Hwy 27. I really like our policy for street names: first the technical aspect, so to speak, such as whether there is same name in the village; then there is the connection or linkage to the village. To my mind, the names proposed for the 4 streets are very appropriate. ...
