Monday evening on Glen Crescent

Here's the word from the doorsteps of Glen Crescent ...

What do people like?  Several households mentioned the new look of Banff Avenue.  Individual households mentioned:

• fixing the infrastructure downtown
• the planned realignment of the intersection at Wolf and Lynx
• the new wayfinding plan
• keeping the town clean and tidy
• the work to improve walking and riding for people at a variety of fitness levels
• the skateboard park

What were people concerned about?  Three households mentioned the need to keep a handle on spending and keep the town staffing establishment lean and efficient.  Individual households mentioned the following:

• the need for a vision -- what is the town about?
• a request to not duplicate the work of the tourism bureau
• a request to see the elected representatives quoted more often as the spokespersons of the town
• a request for a downtown parkade
• a suggestion to repurpose the horse carriage parking on Banff Avenue in the wintertime, and use the space at that time for a handicapped stall
• a request for advance communication about upcoming decisions, to allow townspeople time to comment, coupled with a suggestion that this might diminish the need for consultants
