OCTOBER / 24

September Success Story:

This Whitehorn alley was in significant need of some TLC. Residents reached out for assistance, and we were able to obtain support from Waste & Recycling Services to do an emergency clean up. Thank you to the neighbours of the alley and the Whitehorn Community Association who came together to help rejuvenate this space. Together, we collected 2380 kgs (5247 lbs) of garbage!

TOWN HALL: ABBEYDALE

October's Town Hall will be hosted in Abbeydale.

Join me whether you have questions, concerns, or just want to listen to the topics of discussion in your community📣

Vehicle Noise 

Council has directed Administration to draft a bylaw specifically addressing vehicle noise, including requirements for measurement and enforcement. To support this initiative, acoustic sensors will be strategically placed across the city to monitor and analyze noise levels at identified hotspots, based on resident complaints.

This data will be collected to identify problematic areas, as well as where to guide enforcement efforts. The comprehensive program is set to address vehicle noise and enhance community traffic safety is set to launch later this year. Active vehicle noise enforcement is planned for spring 2025. 

Bearspaw Feeder Main

The critical sections of the pipe requiring urgent repair have been successfully addressed. While a long-term strategy for the feeder main is still necessary, the City has significantly mitigated the risk of another catastrophic failure. Additionally, enhanced monitoring is in place to ensure ongoing safety and reliability. 

While the pipe was undergoing repairs, a third-party consultant conducted a detailed forensics report. This includes comprehensive results from the PipeDiver inspection, as well as soil and structural analysis of the pipe.

This thorough examination will provide valuable insights into the pipe's condition and potential future maintenance needs. The final report is expected to be completed and ready for review by the end of October. 

Green Line LRT

The City of Calgary and the Province of Alberta have been working together to ensure that the Green Line LRT revised alignments minimize the costs and risks to the City and Calgarians.

The investments that have been made are valuable assets that will help contribute to the overall development, despite the realignment.

NORTHEAST MINI GALLERIES 

As part of the City of Calgary's Northeast Public Art Initiative, the Northeast Mini Galleries launched in 2023. This initiative aims to address the lack of public art in northeast Calgary compared to other quadrants, and specifically identifies and supports public art projects in the northeast. 

This program includes 13 mini galleries that showcase 39 local artists per year. Each mini gallery exhibition runs for a four-month period. The next exhibition will launch this month. 

More information about the artists and their work can be found on the Calgary Arts Development website: calgaryartsdevelopment.com/public-art/projects/northeast-mini-galleries/
