Upcoming December Meetings on QTN Issues (LRT, Lincoln Fields, Development)

QTN residents are grieving the loss of trees for the LRT project this week, some very old ones and many that had special meaning for residents. The QTN planning committee did not get advance notice of this, and when the information came, it was too late and inadequate to pursue any alternatives. We have voiced our concern about the lack of information and opportunity to ask questions.

Now there are a series of meetings on issues of importance to QTN.  Take note of the following dates or subscribe to our calendar:

The QTN Planning Committee has requested a separate meeting with the LRT team to discuss issues related to plans through our neighborhood in greater detail.

Stage 2 West Pre-construction Update: Vegetation & Tree Removals

The city has provided us with an update on the pre-construction work as part of the Stage 2 LRT Project (O-Train West Extension):

The project contractor (Kiewit-Eurovia-Vinci) is progressing with vegetation and tree removal work across both east and west alignments. In the coming weeks they will move towards Connaught Park and the greenspace to the north, for removals within the area circled in yellow in the attached satellite image. I’ve also attached public notices that were distributed directly to homes in September and contain additional information regarding tree compensation that will occur towards the end of the project.

Here are the related documents that we encourage you to review:
