Comment
Joseph Creek Riparian zone and access as well as aesthetics for Terralee residents need to be considered. Were residents consulted as well as Business owners? If this proposal goes ahead what guarantee is there, landscaping plans will be adhered to? For tree establishment, hand watering is not recommended and it needs to be recognised that recent plantings undertaken by Cranbrook in Bloom and the City all have in ground irrigation.
In February 2011 we voiced our concern about the treatment of riparian areas within the city.

Considering the number one issue for Cranbrook's Integrated Sustainability Plan is 'water', isn't it time Cranbrook adopted the Provincial Regulations for Riparian Areas?
