- June 22, 2004 - To City of Mississauga.
Your
File C.01/Sewer Through
Dear Mayor of All The People of Mississauga, I acknowledge receipt of your e-mail dated Wednesday June 16th, which appears below. I find your response to my concerns about running a sewer through a Tree Preservation Area inadequate and legalistic. I have not
asked you to deny the landowner the rights established under that by-law.
I have requested that you assist the landowner in abiding by a settlement
agreement that was negotiated in the public interest. Isn't the
Why is it that we could not count on the City to draft a by-law that took into consideration the settlement arrived at between ourselves and the developer? Although it is the case that the Tree Preservation Area would never have been created if we had left it to the City to protect our natural area and environment - you would have allowed the woods to be completely leveled - the attitude that lies at the base of your position is breath taking. It is no wonder that only 19.9% of eligible citizens in Mississauga voted in the last municipal election. Essentially what you are saying is that citizens who participate in public affairs must retain lawyers to ensure that politicians and officials being paid out of the public purse are honouring agreements that have been negotiated in the public interest. Thank you for making it so clear where you stand. Sincerely, Therese Taylor CC:
