Pinecrest Creek

Spring Cleanup Postponed

The forecast is not in our favour and many of our neighbours are dealing with unfavourable conditions. QTN’s Spring Cleanup will be postponed until next Saturday, May 4, 2019 from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. We hope to see you then and if you are looking to volunteer tomorrow consider heading down the hill to our bay ward neighbours to help fill sandbags for flood prevention (click for more information).

Original Post: We’re nearing the end of winter and as much as we love the snow, it tends to hide a fair bit of trash.

Come help clean up our neighbourhood. We will be cleaning our greenspaces (Frank Ryan Park, Elmhurst Park, Connaught Park, Pinecrest Creek Trail) and the surrounding areas.

Meet us at Frank Ryan Field House on Saturday, April 27, 2019 from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM to get supplies and choose an area to clean. Latex gloves and garbage bags will be provided. In the event of rain, we will reschedule to Saturday, May 4, 2019.

If you are willing to help coordinate alternate pickup sites for supplies, such as the frequently recommended Connaught Park entrance, please send us an email as we would appreciate your help.

Planning Committee Update: LRT & Lincoln Fields

The QTN Community Association will be actively engaging in the development of  two city plans, starting in January:

1.  The Queensview/Pinecrest LRT Station Plan will guide redevelopment on the south side of QTN. The boundaries are being expanded to include the residential area of QTN. One outcome will be more specific policies to guide intensification in our neighbourhood and address other priorities of residents. Meetings will start in January and we’ll advise QTN residents of opportunities for input as part of this process. 

2.  A plan for the redevelopment of Lincoln Fields mall, Lincoln Fields LRT station, and the surrounding area between Carling Avenue and Richmond Road will guide development on the north side of QTN. There will be opportunities for public input, and the QTN Planning Committee will monitor and report on what happens between public meetings to keep you informed. Changes in the mall will begin in January. Metro and Pharma Plus will remain open and move to new locations; how the rest develops will be part of the larger city plan. 

The QTN planning committee will help to keep you informed, facilitate community discussions, and help to ensure the views of residents are considered as these plans move forward. Watch for more details later in January.
