Snow Angels

The City of Edmonton sponsors the Snow Angels program, which in the past was an opportunity for an individual to nominate someone who helped to keep their sidewalks clean of ice and snow.

This year, the program is changing to a community based model, with the motto "Doing my Part for the Community". A Snow Angel is now anyone who does their part to keep their sidewalk free of snow and ice AND to anyone who helps a neighbor in need. Snow Angels will be recognized with a lawn sign (similar to Front Yards in Bloom) and will be entered in a draw for one of 10 pairs of Oil Kings Tickets and several Boston Pizza Prize Packs.

North Glenora, and Coronation School are pleased to be participating in the program this year. More information on how to be recognized as a Snow Angel will be coming in the newsletter, through the email list, and on social media.

Keep your eyes open to find out how you can become a Snow Angel and help keep NorthGlenora sidewalks safe for everyone during the winter months.

Time is the enemy in any emergency. For everyone’s safety it is important for motorists to understand how to correctly yield right of way to emergency vehicles with lights and siren activated. You can help EMS, police, and fire get to the scene quickly and safely by following these rules of the road.

When an emergency vehicle approaches

with lights and siren activated: • If you’re in the middle of an intersection when an emergency vehicle approaches with lights and siren activated, safely clear the intersection.

• On a one or two lane road, motorists should move to the right side of the road, slow down, and then stop. Remember to signal.

• On a road with three or more lanes, motorists should move to the nearest side of the road and stop. If driving in the centre lane, move to the right side of the road and stop. Remember to signal.

• Come to a complete stop and wait for the emergency vehicle to pass. Shoulder check for more emergency vehicles (there is often more than one!) before re-entering traffic flow. Remember to signal.

• Emergency vehicles might use any available road space to maneuver. This could include the shoulders or left hand turning lanes in order to pass other traffic.

When operating a vehicle: • Drive attentively and defensively at all times. Be cognizant to sirens and be prepared to yield the right of way.

• It is Alberta law for motorists to slow down to at least 60 km/hour (unless a lower speed is posted) when driving past a stopped emergency vehicle. This includes EMS, police, fire, and tow trucks with their lights activated.

• Do not break the rules of the road in order to give right of way to an emergency vehicle. This could include proceeding through a red light or making an illegal turn. Actions such as these jeopardize all motorists in the area.

• Drivers must place their full attention on the roadway and toward the safe operation of their vehicle at all times. The fine for distracted driving in Alberta is $287.00.

• Always leave plenty of space between your vehicle and an emergency vehicle should it be required to stop suddenly.

Planning & Transportation Update: Changes to the Mature Neighbourhood Overlay

Last month I wrote about changes to the rules for garage and garden suites. This month I would like to share information on the City of Edmonton's Mature Neighbourhood Overlay review. The Mature Neighbourhood Overlay (MNO) is a set of rules that apply to mature communities, including North Glenora, that are above and beyond the underlying zoning rules. They were originally designed to preserve the unique characteristics of older neighbourhoods, and many of the rules provide contextual development rules. In other words, rather than creating blanket rules for all mature communities, the dominant characteristics of each block, including setbacks, and driveway and garage location determine what is permitted and what is a variance. The City is now reviewing the MNO with an eye to modernising it and to bring it inline with other initiatives, such as densification, encouraging infill and the potential new garage and garden suite rules. An excellent visual online guide to the proposed changes can be found at: https://www.edmonton.ca/city_government/documents/PDF/MNOStage4_DraftProposedRegulationPresentationBoards.pdf Some of the major changes are:

Changes to the requirements for front, rear and side setbacks.

New rules regarding the placement of side windows and use of privacy screening in order to minimise adjacent homes looking into one another. This change was approved in August.

Limiting front access to only those lots that have an existing front driveway.

Increase in the allowable height of new homes to allow for new insulation requirements under the National Energy Code.

Increases in the allowable above-grade height of basements and width of dormer windows.

Rear-attached garages to be a permitted use but with strict size requirements.

New rules regarding façade articulation, finishing materials and repetition of building design that are designed to prevent cookie-cutter development and provide enhanced visual interest along a streetscape.

One of the most controversial changes is the notification process for variances. Whereas presently all MNO variances must be reported to all owners of properties within 60 metres of the development, as well as to the Community League, the new rules decrease the amount of owners notified depending upon what the variance is, and the Community League will not be notified in all instances. I recently attended a meeting of mature neigbourhood leagues hosted by the Edmonton Federation of Community Leagues where we reviewed the City's proposed changes. While we agreed with the intent of many of the rules, suggestions were made for better wording and stricter or more lenient regulations for some rules. There was consensus that notification of variances should not be diluted. I encourage you to review the changes yourself, and if you have any comments, please contact me at [email protected], or by leaving a letter with the Community League office in the community hall. I would also be happy to share the EFCL's recommendations.

City of Edmonton

Snow in the City—Winter street maintenance

Winter Roads 101

No matter what the weather does, you have places to go, and the City of Edmonton works hard to help you get there. The City has a comprehensive roadway maintenance program to help keep traffic moving safely in the winter months.

Read on to learn the basics of the winter road maintenance program, and what you can do to help keep Edmonton mobile.

When will streets be sanded?

Sanding is the City’s first line of defense against slippery, unsafe roads. Streets are sanded as required to provide traction.

When will the main streets be plowed?

Plowing begins on main roads when 3 cm of snow has accumulated and more snow is forecasted. Roads are plowed in this order:

1. Highways;

2. Freeways;

3. Main arterial roads;

4. Bus collector routes.

During a major plowing event -- after about 10 cm has accumulated on the ground -- you can check plowing status using the interactive map at edmonton.ca/winterroads.

When will my neighbourhood roads be bladed?

North Glenora community roads are always bladed on Thursday, regardless of which day of the week the blading cycle begins. Blading of residential roads is initiated once a snowpack of about 5 cm has built up. But, it doesn’t begin until highways, freeways, main arterial roads and bus collector routes have been plowed.

Note that your neighbourhood is always bladed on the same day of the week, similar to garbage pickup. If blading isn’t fully completed on your snow day, crews will be back over the weekend to finish up.

When are parking bans in effect?

Parking bans can be called anytime from November 15 to March 15 on roads with “seasonal parking ban” signs. Parking bans help ensure that City equipment can do the best possible job of clearing the roads so emergency and transit vehicles as well as motorists can get where they’re going.

Parking bans are called with a minimum of eight hours notice. Sign up for email notifications when parking bans are declared at edmonton.ca/winterroads, or watch for information on the fronts of ETS buses, in local media, on edmonton.ca, on digital message boards around the city and on social media.

Together, residents and the City of Edmonton help maintain the best possible conditions on our roads and sidewalks all winter long.

Learn more about safe winter travel in Edmonton by visiting edmonton.ca/winterroads.

By Dave Cleary of Wild Birds Unlimited on the corner of 122 St and 107 Ave in Edmonton

Q: Do birds freeze after using heated bird baths in winter? Songbirds do get cold feet in winter. The surface temperature of their toes may be barely above freezing even as the bird maintains its core body temperature above 38°C. But most birds don’t succumb to frostbite because there is so little fluid in the cells of their feet, and because their circulation is so fast that blood doesn’t remain in the feet long enough to freeze. Birds need water year round and will drink and bath in open water in a heated bird bath during the winter. This serves several purposes. First, they benefit from a dependable source of open water in your yard as it saves them time and energy not having to search for natural sources. If they can’t find open water they will eat and melt snow, which requires extra energy. Second, bathing helps keep their feathers clean and more effective in insulating them in our cold winters. On extremely cold winter nights, a bird can lose up to 10% of its body weight overnight to keep warm. In winter anything a bird can do to conserve energy helps them survive. Plus it’s also fun to watch birds in a bird bath!

Q: Will we be seeing redpolls and siskins at our feeders this year? Each fall, birders and bird feeding hobbyists anxiously await the “Winter Finch Forecast” compiled annually by Ron Pittaway with the Ontario Field Ornithologists. Why? Because

his typically reliable forecast lets us know whether to anticipate lots of exciting and colourful activity at our feeders this winter. The catch-all term “winter finches” includes redpolls, siskins, grosbeaks and crossbills, which are boreal forest species found in northern Canada. The forecast also includes a few other non-finch species that are prone to wander, including Blue Jays, Red-breasted Nuthatches and Bohemian Waxwings. These tree seed and fruit eating birds can be rare or missing across entire regions of North America in one year and then appear in large numbers the next. Last winter we saw a lot of crossbills due to the abundant crop of seed cones on trees in our area. The cone crops are average to poor in southern parts of eastern Canada but good in Northern Ontario and Western Canada. White-winged Crossbills and often Pine Siskins prefer to move west or east rather than go south in search of cone crops so many crossbills and some siskins may have already relocated to northern Ontario and across the boreal forest to Yukon where spruce cone crops are abundant. Some eastern siskins have likely relocated to abundant spruce crops in western Canada which means we may see them at our feeders. Siskins prefer nyjer seeds in silo feeders. Most Bohemian Waxwings will likely stay in western Canada because native Mountain-ash berry crops are good to bumper across the boreal forest. People in rural areas and some parts of Edmonton can watch for Pine Grosbeaks eating their favourite European Mountain‐ash berries and small ornamental crabapples. So we could well see these winter finches, including redpolls, in our area again this year. The best way to tell what the birds are doing this winter is to watch for them at our feeders, in our neighbourhoods, and on river valley trail walks. Dave Cleary and Jan Chapman are owners of Wild Birds Unlimited at the corner of 122 St and 107 Ave on the northside in Edmonton. The mission of Wild Birds Unlimited is to bring people and nature together. See their website at www.wbu.com/edmonton or call them at 587-521-2473.

A Lovely Fall Outing Have you ever visited Emily Murphy Park and fed the chickadees? Last month a friend, myself, and our kids did just that. First we stopped over at our local bird shop to pick up some birdseed. Then we headed down to the river valley. As it turned out, it was the last

warm weekend before the snow fell (!). The fall colours were so vibrant, it was like walking through the pages of a beautifully illustrated storybook. I was grateful to be living in a big city and still be able to enjoy this natural beauty just a few steps from home. Oh, and the chickadees? Just like in the storybooks, they ate right out of our hands…
