Many various correspondence, motions and Reports on the Monday 9:30 a.m. Community Services Committee meeting Agenda,
►lower speed limit to 40K on Grandview;
►more tennis courts in North Oshawa
►Oshawa residents desiring a cricket field as it is a fast growing sport in Durham Region;
►finally Report CS-21-89 that the trail and bridge from Arborwood parkette is to be advanced in 2022 (which should have been completed years ago); and
►Report on Rotary Park redevelopment which should naturally support the result of the public survey and approve the plan for an new accessible outdoor pool....
Then, in among the larger Agenda items, there is something small but imo worth advancing...a plan to plant tulips and pansies for early spring flowers in the downtown boulevard planters in 2022!
I saw them in the City of Barrie last April and they were beautiful. Unfortunately I did not snap a picture, but incredibly Barrie has the very same large circular concrete planters that are also all around downtown Oshawa. (Adding this stock photo to give you the idea.)
Oshawa always has many stunning tulip flower beds across town in the spring.
The City also boasts beautiful flower displays in the downtown planters in the summertime.
But Oshawa has its planters empty with just dirt from February to June. The downtown could be brightened with this splash of color!
And a lovely note how the City of Barrie hosted a Tulip Planting, a vigil and parade as part of it's 2019 Remembrance Day day events. Members of the legion helped with the planting as part of the ceremonies.
