<div dir="ltr">Hi Everyone,<div><br><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>Our group has worked hard to prepare additional presentations to delegate to Council. </div><div>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. </div><div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>Our ask of the community is that we get as many people to attend in person to fill up the Council Chambers. <b>WE</b> 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: <a href="https://www.kitchener.ca/en/council-and-city-administration/current-agendas-and-reports.aspx">https://www.kitchener.ca/en/council-and-city-administration/current-agendas-and-reports.aspx</a></div><div><br></div><div>I look forward to seeing many of your faces in the gallery. Thanks so much for letting me interrupt your day with another request!</div><div><br></div><div>Warm Regards,</div><div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><i><b><font face="georgia, serif" size="4">Yvonne Fernandes</font></b></i></div><div><i><b><font face="georgia, serif" size="4"><br></font></b></i></div><div><i><b><font face="georgia, serif">Community Liaison for the Doon Pioneer Park Community Association </font></b></i></div>
