--Apple-Mail-126--372014312 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed; delsp=yes Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hello everyone: The following note was passed on to me by Suzanne Borkowski who received the information from an area resident. I have looked at the NS Power web site and they have a PDF file that contains a map of the proposed routing, which is right along the entire eastern edge of the lake. http://www.nspower.ca/site-nsp/media/nspower/NSP.fact.sheet.pdf I'm not sure what the restrictions are on lakefront development, etc. but it appears as though the clearcut will run along a lakeshore. I would encourage interested people, especially those from the area, to attend the information session. There is no mention of the meeting, that I could find, an the NS Power web site. Pat ============== A resident of Bissett Lake called me to say that NS Power plans to clearcut a huge swath of land along the edge of Bissett Lake to install a power grid servicing Eastern Passage. The proposed site starts at the edge of the marsh (wetland) on the Cole Harbour side of Bissett Lake and runs towards the NS Rehab Centre on Bissett Lake Road. This means that all the woods on the far side of the lake - left hand side - will be clearcut. The plan is to erect 100 ft high power poles connected by wires. This would be directly in the flight path of thousands of Canada Geese and numerous other species of birds that use Bissett Lake. Trails Canada put a bid on that same parcel of land a while ago to build a trail which includes a bridge over the marsh/wetland and a walking trail extending to the NS Rehab Ctr. However, if NS Power has decided they want that land, I doubt if Trails Canada would be able to compete, financially. There's going to be an info session tomorrow, Thursday, May 20th, at Cole Harbour Place, on Forest Hills Parkway, right next to Cole Harbour High School, from 4:00 - 7:00 pm. = = ======================================================================== Patrick Kelly Director of Computer Facilities = = ======================================================================== Faculty of Architecture and Planning Dalhousie University = = ======================================================================== PO Box 1000 Stn Central 5410 Spring Garden Road Halifax, Nova Scotia B3J 2X4 Halifax, Nova Scotia B3J 2X4 Canada Canada = = ======================================================================== Phone:(902) 494-3294 FAX:(902) 423-6672 E-mail:patrick.kelly@dal.ca = = ======================================================================== --Apple-Mail-126--372014312 Content-Type: text/html; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <html><body style=3D"word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; = -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Hello = everyone:<div><br></div><div>The following note was passed on to me by = Suzanne Borkowski who received the information from an area resident.
