Misc. Parks and Greenspace Projects

I walked through Louise McKinney Park yesterday, and that stairway from Grierson Hill Road to the Chinese Garden is overdue for a renovation.

Much of the park is in need of a renovation or higher level of maintenance. While I enjoy it, it is often overgrown and unkept... er naturalized.

That stairway alone is just one foot stomp away from a hole being punched thru it!

Yah that stair needs a rebuild. I was cycling through the park this weekend and the work they did for the new bridge is great. That park will look good in a couple of years. However there was on camp with lots of litter. the existing paved MUPs are in need of some repairs. and they should add trees around the amenities building.

Update, It appears they are clearing the camp out. lots of service vehicles and a police vehicle at that end of the bridge.

What I dont get is that LMP was essentially closed for the last 4 years. Why didn't 'we' take the time to do any upgrades and improvements to time with the LRT opening.

Similar to a number of SUP and MUP in the area of Mutart.

Because that is common sense.

Some good news, I just really hope we can repair/maintain the trail network this season... that plus the commitment to returning some of Edmonton’s green spaces to their original state through "naturalization".
