Thank you so much for doing this. As you can see from Matt's e-mail, citizen participation and interest in what Council is doing is there - it's just a matter of being able to find information about what is going on. For me, I'd like to know about the hotel on Queen Street...but I'll phone city hall or my councillor to take some of the load off you!! Again thanks; you are proactive and responsive. Wonderful to see in a politician. Rob -

I don't know the details on the property at 275 Brackley Point Road, but I <a href="http://www.city.charlottetown.pe.ca/allaire/spectra/system/mediastore/Bldgprmt07-10-13.pdf" rel="nofollow">see here the city issued a permit</a> on October 12, 2007 to demolish a house at that address. UPDATE (two minutes later): Sorry, wasn't thinking, that's the property that abuts the city's garage on MacAleer Dr. The city is purchasing it because Public Works is very short on space for all the vehicles and equipment that are on site out there.

Maybe you could make a motion in council institutionalizing it, with publication on the town's web page. That would be a good way of solving the problem for good. Any idea what Charlottetown plans to do with the property at 275 Brackley Pt Rd? Posting the agenda is a bright idea.
