2018-2022 Councillor Term Summary – Bison Run

Oct 3, 2022

This is a very very brief summary of key issues I’ve been working on specific to the Bison Run neighbourhood, and initiatives that I look forward to working on. I am very thankful to have had the support of many many residents who’ve been also working to make our neighbourhoods safer, healthier and a great place to live and play! Thank you!

Development

Developing an empty prairie field into a site for residential and commercial development takes years. I am beyond thrilled that we have reached the point where sewer, water and roads have been constructed – and now homes, and two new schools are being constructed in Phase One.
Lots in Phase Two will start selling soon. We will enter the world of construction and this will become another beautiful neighbourhood.
I will be working closely with the developer on amenities in the parks and public greenspaces. As always I welcome any feedback on ideas, and desires.

Recreation Campus and Fire Station

$100 million for the new recreation campus has been secured, and $18 million for the fire station.
The public consultations will start in November, and construction is projected to start in 2023

Lee Blvd Estates

Many long term residents live along Lee Blvd. This area has been zoned ‘estate’ meaning the large lots, ditches and trees will remain intact.
A new multifamily and commercial development will be built at the intersection of Lee Blvd and Waverley – I’ve worked with residents and the developer to ensure twice the number of trees they are obligated to plant – are planted.

Cadboro Road

Cadboro road will not be a thru street once the schools are open. Currently it is open as roads are being constructed.
I’m very pleased that a new community garden will be opening up in 2023 – in partnership with the Manitoba Buddhist Vihara. Details coming soon!
