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
On September 29 there is a report on Council agenda recommending names in for the two streets in the new subdivision which has been referred to as Mansions of King. I like very much the process we follow for naming new streets. There is the administrative/technical side such as ensuring lack of duplication and then there is selecting names which “fit” King and the specific location. Selected...
