Langford residents had the chance to speak to the proposed closing of Mary Ellen Place at a council meeting last Monday (June 17).
However, the issue wasnB次元官网网址檛 on the agenda as planned.
B次元官网网址淭here were many people who came out about the Mary Ellen Lane issue,B次元官网网址 Coun. Denise Blackwell said. B次元官网网址淓ven though it wasnB次元官网网址檛 on the agenda, the mayor allowed anybody who wanted to speak on it to speak. So that took at least an hour.B次元官网网址
Some issues raised were an otter habitat in Glen Lake, below the dead-end lane. Neighbour Ann Linton also spoke to her concern over access to her garage.
Blackwell said the purchaser has committed to not make any alterations to the lake front, and will allow Linton to access her garage.
While she still opposes the sale, Linton is more comfortable with it now.
B次元官网网址淲e won that,B次元官网网址 said Linton. B次元官网网址淚 realize it was sort of a hopeless cause anyhow, itB次元官网网址檚 just nice to see everyone voice their opinion and be heard.B次元官网网址
B次元官网网址淚t was fairly balanced,B次元官网网址 Blackwell said. B次元官网网址淚t was good to have them out there and get peopleB次元官网网址檚 input.B次元官网网址
The issue is expected to come before council at its next meeting, on Monday, July 15.
