City construction of storm water settling ponds affects Evergreen and Fish Creek Park

June 17, 2008 14:14 by Divona Herzog

The City of Calgary is creating storm water settling ponds in communities bordering Fish Creek. Deep pipes will collect storm water and snowmelt and transport it to Fish Creek Park where the sediment will settle in ponds, purifying the water before it joins the natural water system.

One of the six ponds – the Marshall Springs Retrofit Pond – will affect our community. Some type of diversion structure will be constructed on Evergreen Drive SW and an underground storm water pipe will carry the water through the community to Fish Creek Park, where it the sediment will settle. This will entail some construction, particularly in Evergreen Estates, over the next two years. Please see the attached drawings for details.   

The City of Calgary’s Water Resources division is hosting an information session for residents on Tuesday, June 24th at the Peace Lutheran Church, 14640 Sixth St. S.W., from 5 to 8 p.m. They will further explain the purpose of the project and the possible impact of construction. They’ll advertise the session through letters to Evergreen Estates residents, bold signs and ads in the Herald and the Sun. We’ll also keep you updated on our community website: www.shawnee-evergreen.net

Local realtor should not have made promises regarding parade of garage sales

June 17, 2008 14:13 by Divona Herzog
Hello neighbours. Thanks for participating in the Shawnee-Evergreen annual parade of garage sales on June 7th and 8th. We hope you found some good bargains despite the rain. We received some inquires this year about whether a local realtor had sponsored the event. Apparently he distributed glossy flyers in the mail to parts of Evergreen, implying sponsorship and promising maps of the garage sale route. When the maps didn’t appear, some residents were disappointed and they directed their inquiries to us. We would like to clarify that this community event was not sponsored by any individual or organization. The realtor should not have implied that he was associated with this event – and he shouldn’t have made promises he didn’t keep!
