Subject: Re: [All] Update on the Biehn Dr. extension

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick update. Monday March 20th the Biehn Dr. EA will be coming 
back to City of Kitchener Council for their decision on the EA and the 
proposed road extension.


Our group has worked hard to prepare additional presentations to 
delegate to Council.
Our ask is that the infrastructure be connected through directional 
drilling in the hopes that it will have minimal impact on the PSW. We 
are also asking that no road ( Biehn Dr ) be put in place to make a 
connection to Robert Ferrie but to continue using Caryndale Dr. as the 
traffic route. We have debunked the numbers that show there may be 
increased traffic and have done some research on the ability to do 
directional drilling as the solution to making the municipal service 
connection.


We also invited all of Council to attend a walking tour of the area.  To 
date we have walked with Councillor Jason Deneault and his family, 
Councillor Debbie Chapman and her husband , Regional Councillor Colleen 
James and her daughter, Green Party member David Weber.


We have extended another invitation for the rest of Council to attend 
with the understanding that our own Councillor, Christine Michaud can 
not attend because she declared a conflict of interest on the Biehn Dr. 
extension. There has been great concern about this declaration which 
leaves our community without a voice at the Council table that night.


Our ask of the community is that we get as many people to  attend in 
person to fill up the Council Chambers. WE need the "bums in seats" and 
hope that you will be able to take time out of your very busy schedules 
to attend. Presently the Council meeting is scheduled for 6 pm, but I 
have asked for a clarification from clerks because  usually Council 
meetings don't start until 7pm. You can double check by Friday on the 
City of Kitchener for the timing and actual agenda.  website:

I look forward to seeing many of your faces in the gallery. Thanks so 
much for letting me interrupt your day with another request!


Warm Regards,



Yvonne Fernandes


Community Liaison for the Doon Pioneer Park Community Association


Follow your dreams of a better world, and keep on trying, even when 
there seems  to be little hope, because it is the right thing to do. 
Robert Alan.
