BURLINGTON, ON

Rambo Crescent home owner are upset.

The trees have to be protected. No one wants to harm a tree – but did all the trees have to be protected like this? Who made up this rule? Looks like a make work project that wasn’t needed.

Just about every house on the Crescent has orange netting around their trees.

The Region was doing some Rambo Creek upgrade work, and the orange netting was seen as necessary.

The netting has been there for weeks. The residents have reached out to their ward Councillor; she always says she’ll get back to us, but never does.

The netting is everywhere.

“No one has told us if the work is ongoing or complete.

“If complete, when will hideous gates be coming down? No answer so far.

Conversations with Halton Region tell us they’re coming to take the gates down.

“Poor communication, no follow up lack of co-ordination from City of Burlington & Region of Halton.

“Rambo Crescent home owners are left in the dark.

And this house as well. The residents want to know when the netting is going to be removed.

” We’re all frustrated & angry at the state of our street.”

This house has netting it doesn’t want.

So does this house …

As does this house.
