Waist high weeds
January 15, 2014 · 0 Comments
This fenced retention pond on Muriel Street serves as a nature area, apparently favoured by avian life, in the summer. But some residents are wondering why the weeds are allowed to grow beyond the height of the chain link fence. Ken Topping recently brought the concerns to town council and also asked that the gate to the pond be opened after the pond freezes so neighbours could clear the snow from the ice and create a sort of community skating area. The Public Works department is to delve into the issues involved and bring a report to the council, possibly on Monday. Meantime in this unusual winter, Grand River Conservation Authority is warning people to stay clear of streams and ponds.
