OHHA FB Group - OH Park Bridge - Post "pending"

Original Post
"Pending OHHA FB admin approval" as at 9:45PM 07.20.2022

As with the Credit River Bridge, it would have been helpful for the OHHA also, to host community meetings (real or virtual) with members of the City of Mississauga Cycling Committee, together with the technical staff responsible for producing the approved 2018 Cycling Master Plan in attendance, to present the OH Park Bridge funded and slated for construction in November 2019, and to address any concerns OH residents may have in relation to the project, PRIOR to conducting the 2021 “Survey” in which 19% of respondents were “unaware” of the bridge and 11% were “unsure” whether or not they “support” the project.

DEAD END - NO EXIT - Orchard Heights Park

Ongoing actions by  Orchard Heights NIMBYs  to block the 2018 approved and 2019 scheduled Orchard Heights Park Foot/Bike Bridge from being built include censoring related information posted to the OHHA Facebook Group pages and vandalizing information flyers posted in local public places like Ron Searle Park and Orchard Heights Park.

As Canada's 29th "Bee City”, Mississauga’s stated commitment “to support pollinators and their habitats” and advising homeowners that, "By planting pollinator friendly plants in your garden you can help enhance habitat for insects that pollinate wildflowers and food crops", is self-contradictory virtue signaling when the City's Enforcement Division cites homeowners under By-Law 125-2017 for the wildlife-friendly tall grass and weeds growing on
