The Neighbourhood Action Team (NAT) program is just wrapping up their first 4-week shift of work in our ward for this summer, tackling things like pothole filling, sidewalk repairs, levelling boulevards, graffiti and bulky waste removal and hazard tree trimming. Basically, when the NAT arrives on a street, they fix everything within scope, whether a 311 request exists or not.
Last year, residents reported being thrilled with the results that NATs made on their street. This year the NAT will be able to fix up even more areas, with the addition of an extra 4-week shift. The NATs worked in Elmwood-East Kildonan from May 18 to June 12 and will return again from August 10 to September 4.
As residents, we know our own neighbourhoods best. Is there an uneven sidewalk that needs to be addressed? A pothole that needs filling? A tree whose branches block a stop sign or sidewalk? Please send in your reports to 311 or to my office so that we get them logged for repair.
