The crab grass and dandelions are soon to take over all of the beds with shrubs and mulch, reducing the beauty of the beds, which I enjoy every day. Surely some of our association fees would cover maintenance of this area?

The median located on 9th Avenue between the Co-op shopping area and the Shopper’s Drug Mart shopping area is not maintained by the Wentworth Resident’s Association. It is under the maintenance of the City of Calgary. Concerns related to its maintenance should be directed to 311. We are in regular communication with the City and know that they are currently running about 3-4 weeks behind schedule due to weather and ground conditions.

I would rather they spend the $$$ cleaning it up and maybe planting some flowers.

Just thought you should know as it violates the city bylaw.

Thank you for you comments. I invite you to have a look at our website to see what your $200 annual fee pays for in the community. The majority of the fee goes toward the landscaping and maintenance of the community. This includes the maintenance of the entrace signs and medians as well as garbage collection throughout the community. We also maintain a contingency fund for repairs for items that are the responsibility of the community.

With respect to your question on snow removal, I am assuming you are talking about the sidewalks next to the field areas that are behind the Co-op. Our board looked into this a few years ago and determined that due to liability issues we would not be able to provide snow removal services for this area. This is due to the fact that once the community started snow removal we would be fully liable for any slip and fall accidents that occurred.

I would suggest contacting the City of Calgary or the school board which operates the school buses to discuss your concerns regarding the accessibility for children waiting for the bus.

If you would like to discuss this further please let me know and we would be happy to invite you to one of our future board meetings.

Kind regards, Andrea

I ask as there are a lot of homes in Wentworth that pay $200.00 and by my calculations this is a fair bit ogf money for flowers that are planted at the entrance. I would hope that some of this money would be used to remove snow from the side walks around the green space so that kids can get on the bus safely and those of us who walk can walk on the sidewalk and not the road.
I look forward to your response on this issue.
Regards

We are currently in the process of revamping our website. We will include the comments you made below as well as the links.

Thanks Andrea

I live in Wentworth (west of 85th Street) and I believe some of the residents are not aware of the Covenants which restrict what can (or cannot) be placed on a property. For example, Recreational Vehicles, Boats, etc. cannot be placed on a property lot and can only be on the street for no longer than 36 hours (according to City bylaw).

I think this information may be helpful as an aid to keep our neighbourhoods looking clean and organized. I have included the link to the Dundee Development Restrictive Covenants as well as the Good Neighbour Guide provided by the City of Calgary. Please be considerate to your neighbours. Thank you.
