Irving Nature Park Seasonal Closing

I was in the INP a few weeks ago and couldn't figure out if it was my imagination or if indeed the park was closing earlier than usual.   I am not sure if this is exactly newsworthy, but CBC has picked up on the earlier-than-usual closing time at the park.

Apparently I wasn't the only person caught off guard.

Lou Murphy Park Walking Trails

I had an opportunity today to explore the new walking trails at Lou Murphy Park off Milford Road.  Emera NB contributed significant dollars to the trails and although I didn't have time to explore each trail I definitely was able to take in some great views.

In August,  Emera and the City completed the transfer of the 27 acre property for development into a park.  There is still work to be done, and markings are not entirely clear, but it's a great addition to the Westside and definitely worth visiting.

The image below is looking toward the North End, across the river from Milford.

Metal Shredder news

A story on News 88.9 indicates there will be a temporary solution to the power needs of AIM's lower westside shredder. And it looks like it won't include running lines along the coast.
