An online petition demanding a halt to the redevelopment of Bonnerworth Park in Peterborough, Ontario continues to gain support, with over 2,500 signatures collected in just two weeks. Residents, led by D’arcy Jenish, are concerned about potential noise, loss of green space, and lack of proper environmental impact studies. Despite a motion to delay the project being defeated by city council, the petition highlights community opposition to the $4 million redevelopment, which includes a 16-court pickleball complex.

A proposed extension of Memorial Drive in Calgary has drawn mixed reactions. Residents in the Abbeydale neighborhood are concerned about the increased noise and loss of green space, while others welcome the improved access to the growing suburb of Belvedere. The city’s plan is to extend the road to provide access to Belvedere, which is expected to house 60,000 people and create 10,000-15,000 jobs. The project has not received construction funding in the current city budget, but Councillor Andre Chabot suggests the timeline may be accelerated due to the rapid growth on the east side of the city.
