Our sunshelter in Allison Park

I just got a call from good friend Councilor Scott Duvall tonight, whom had some good news to report.

1. Our sunshelter has been put out to tender, and the process they are hoping will be completed soon and construction started and finished by the end of June this year.

2. The issue surrounding the paths to the shelter has also be rectified somewhat.

Some background here, at first we where going to get 2-3 paths from Piano and Meadowpoint. This though created a problem in that it would have taken away almost the last piece of grass area for the kids to play football and soccer on. My worry was that a ashphalt path would become a safety hazard when the kids where playing. After talking with City Officials they said nothing could be done as the paths where needed for access for people with disabilities. This to be sounded like pure nonsense as we already had several entrances to the park, and more being planned. My argument fell on deaf ears, so further discussions ensued. After talking with disability experts and others, Scott informed me today that a resolution has been found and that most of the grass area will remain intact for the children to play on. The paths have been re-aligned throughout the park which will still allow easy access for all.

Many thanks for Councilor Scott Duvall for seeing this matter through to the drawing stage that we are currently at.
