Received a call requesting the old style lamp posts at the west end of Brighton Rd. be extended all the way to the east end of the road.

Currently responding to a letter I received last week expressing concern over proposed upgrades to Memorial Field in Victoria Park for the ‘09 Canada Games.

Without a doubt the most common question I get from people who are curious about my experiences on council is “Do you get many calls?”. The short answer is ‘not many’, but the volume of calls, emails, letters, and sidewalk conversations with residents about issues and general complaints is steadily increasing. The range of requests is also becoming more and more broad.

For a bit of fun, I’ve added a small “sideblog” in the right-hand sidebar of my main website where I will post a very brief description of the latest “call” I receive. These little asides will not contain any identifying information about the person who contacted me, but it should provide the curious a sense of the types and volumes of contacts we get from constituents. You can see a full list of these mini-posts by viewing the category archive for Calls, Emails, Complaints.

This is experimental for now, as I may not be able to keep up the pace and post about all the calls I receive.

Received a call, and subsequently paid a visit, to a constituent who is claiming damages against the city because sidewalk plows are pushing snow against her foundation in the winter and causing it to crack and collapse.
