For anyone who was unable to attend the Public Open House on the fate of the trail to go through Oleskiw Park, an
online survey may be filled out until Sunday, June 8.
Although city councillors thought Option 4 was the best option, it was arbitrarily ruled out by the consultants and the administration, prior to the open house, and left off the survey. It was still shown on the map as running along the western fringe of the forest; a cross-trail to a viewpoint would be possible. Respondents should still comment on option 4 on their survey form if they so desire. It's most important to complete the survey if you feel that option 4 is the best - they are asking for public opinion after all!
Be aware that Option 2 will destroy populations of rare ebony sedge, otherwise found mainly along mountain rivers.
Please take the time to complete the survey and provide your comments on specific trail considerations. Continue to watch for updates here.
