new drainage for storms. I’m grateful for the strong relationships built with partners at all levels of government and the results they continue to deliver for London. Throughout our city, we’re unveiling great new park enhancements in our neighbourhoods, from Murray Park to Hastings, White Oaks and many more. The best part is that, along with improvements like new swings and play equipment, basketball nets and courts, pathways, and benches, we’re celebrating the occasion with community parties at each location. There are still several more to announce, so keep checking my social media and the city’s to join an event near you and see how we’re developing where we live and play. Along with our continuing downtown revitalization plan and the announcement of our new emergency services campus, there’s no summer downtime at City Hall, and that’s how we like it.
Hey London! I hope everyone has been having a great summer and enjoying the beautiful sunshine, whether you’re gardening at one of our public plots, taking in the fanta- stic events downtown and across our community, or trying to stay cool at one of the city’s pools and splash pads. Amid all this summer fun, our city continues to work hard on exciting projects and supporting those events, and I’m happy to share some of the latest: We recently celebrated the completion of the Adelaide Underpass, one of the largest infrastructure projects in the history of London, to meet the needs of our growing city and get Londoners where they need to go faster, safer and easier. It’s an example of how we’re investing in the everyday lives of Londoners, with the underpass helping us all say goodbye to train delays and get to work, school pickup and appointments faster. Sunningdale Road will be getting a facelift thanks to an $18 million boost from the province. Along with promising opportunities for housing, we’ll be expanding the roadway from two to four lanes, adding new sidewalks, lighting and cycling lanes, and installing

Ward 7 Update by Corrine Rahman, Ward 7 City Councillor crahman@london.ca • 226-577-3774 Hello Neighbours, As the school year begins, I want to extend my warmest wishes to all stu- dents, families, educators, and school staff across London. A reminder to take
extra precautions now that roads are busier. Help avoid collisions and make sure students get to school and back home safely by observing traffic signals and signs, slowing down around schools and stopping at crosswalks and for school buses. As a community, we continue to encourage active transportation to school. You can find the “drive to five” signage in many area schools. This approach encourages parents to drop off their children at a location slightly further from the school, allowing students to walk the remaining distance. This practice reduces traffic congestion around the school, promotes physical activity for students, and can improve overall safety by minimizing the number of vehicles near the school entrance.
