What's happening with Petrolia Mall
After receiving notice from the city that an easement had been granted to a developer at Petrolia Mall, the GCL board launched an appeal to find out what is happening with the property. President Ian Hicks has since spoken to the architect involved in the project. He found out it is the same project presented to the Community League back in 2007-2008, though only one of the two original partners is still involved. The original plan involved building condos with some lower level retail space; the project was designed to be built in three phases. It appears that the first phase involving knocking down the old Safeway and service station and building and 4 storey building is going ahead. The architect assures us the easement that has been granted is for landscaping, not building, so the board has dropped its appeal. The developer is in Calgary and Ian is contacting him to get more information on where the project is at, what the plans for the remaining buildings are and what the timeline of the project is.
City of Edmonton Programs in our Community:
The City of Edmonton is now hiring playground leaders for its summer programs. It would be great to have a local person as the leader at our playground this summer. Apply online or at the City Hall Employment Centre.
For more information about social and recreation programs in south Edmonton communities check out Community Services' monthly newsletter.
Community Walking Maps: Thanks to everyone who came out to the Walking Maps Workshop at the hall on January 16th and 17th. The city now has a copy of our favourite routes in Greenfield, Aspen Gardens and Royal Gardens. The next step is to measure the distances of the routes - then the City will print a brochure highlighting the walking routes and destinations in our neighbourhood.
Messages from Edmonton Transit:
Edmonton Transit is warning southside residents that trains have started moving on the LRT tracks down 111th Street in anticipation of service starting to Southgate and Centuary park at the end of April. Open houses to give information on safety and route and schedule changes will be held at:
