an open letter written to the Mayor and Council of the City of Barrie by a concerned resident of Oro-Medonte

A post detailing how I plan to pivot on how this blog is used, and what information can be expected to gain from it.

Our May 10th, 2023 Municipal Council Meeting covered several important topics. We began with a reassuring safety update from the OPP, reminding us all about our collective role in maintaining our community's safety. Discussions about our Parks and Recreation Master Plan and potential developments at Bidwell Park took center stage, with resident feedback being highly valued. The review of the Line 15 North traffic calming pilot raised concerns about safety at the intersection of Line 15 and Bass Lake Side Road, resulting in the removal of the one-way directional system. Lastly, we decided against selling surplus land at 2299 Highway 11 North as it wouldn't have benefited our township.

The meeting touched on a range of important topics, including updates from Lakehead University's Orillia Campus, development proposals by Oro-Medonte Estates Inc., adjustments to council remuneration, and an astonishing report revealing the township's significant legal expenses.
