Lots of information in the May newsletter and more on my website at http://janicelukes.ca/! These newsletters are meant to provide you with an update on activities at City Hall and in the Waverley West ward. I am always posting information on my website throughout the month and I encourage you to visit to learn more about what is going on in your neighbourhood, community and city.

2. Traffic Calming, Traffic Lights
|
I receive many calls to slow down traffic on streets, change the timing of lights, add a stop sign and more! As the new neighbourhoods of Waverley West fill in with more and more people, traffic increases and new traffic patterns develop. I forward many of the requests to the Public Works department to have the engineers study to see if the additional of speed and traffic control devices met criteria for installation of new traffic control measures. I am now posting the requests and results of studies (when complete) in each neighbourhood section on my website. Please check 'Your Neighbourhood' or a complete summary of Roads on my website to see what is being studied.

3. Fountains in Bridgwater
|
The Neighbourhoods of Bridgwater have three beautiful fountains that are spectacular community gathering places. There have been some challenges with fountain operations and maintenance over the years but I believe we have and are in the process of resolving the issues. Please see more details for each fountain at: Bridgwater Forest Fountain, Bridgwater Lakes Fountain, and Bridgwater Trails Fountain.

4. Sod Replacement on Three Soccer Fields
|
The City and developers have come to an agreement to replace the sod on three soccer fields this summer. This will be an inconvenience, and I apologize, but I am very pleased to finally see decisions being made so that we can get these soccer fields in operation for the South Winnipeg Community Centre soccer programming! Over 1,500 children registered for soccer this year! Please see Sod Replacement on Three Soccer Fields
