The City of Calgary has completed an in–depth investigation into the structural integrity of the retaining wall on Shawnee Grove. 

They have found the retaining wall to be in need of repairs, but in general it does not pose an immediate hazard to the public.  They will be removing the temporary fences with the exception of a small section near the west terminus of the retaining wall. This section of the wall has severe cracks and, therefore, it is possible that small pieces might break off from the retaining wall and the fence will keep pedestrians away from that area.

They are continuing to work with the Developer and the consultant, and will be scheduling the repair work for early summer of 2006.  “No Parking” signs will be put up in front of the retaining wall until repairs can be implemented. 

We appreciate your cooperation in keeping that area clear.
