We’ve done what we can in regards to improving the quality of life in the Tamarack subdivision for those near the tracks, but maintaining the blog and the petition are becoming more exhausting than the train itself! We don’t have the time to continue to track down Summerhill (on the survey issue), or CN (on the crossing arm, et cetera). If Summerhill does reply about doing a new survey, I’ll forward the information onto those who e-mailed me previously, but we won’t be participating.
We love our house, our lot, and are encouraged by what the subdivision may become. We are still frustrated at our particular situation and emphasize with those even closer to the train (especially the owners of the new condos that are going up right beside the track!), but we have grown to used to it.
This site will remain, for information, but no new comments will be posted.
Best of luck and apologies to anyone who may have been offended by my replies to their comments. I was feeling attacked for trying to better the situation in the subdivision and I was getting frustrated.
