On the agenda

As the city filed it

The island boulevard in the centre of Evans Avenue east of The East Mall, is under the jurisdiction of Transportation Services for maintenance. Currently the island is planted with grass. City staff have advised that the frequency of summer maintenance activities provides for seven visits per year. It takes roughly two weeks to attend to all locations in a service area and there is a one-week gap before undertaking the next round.

This means approximately 3-4 weeks between maintenance. The result is overgrown, unsightly grass for many weeks of the year and results in numerous complaints to my office. This motion requests the grass be removed from the island and a new design be prepared and installed as soon as possible.
