Sylvia Reiter and I presented the petition to Mayor Christina Smith and the councillors at last night's (July 7) council meeting. Anyone interested in hearing exactly what was said can view the presentation on the City's YouTube channel at the following link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lD0lhD6-YVU.

Council appeared to be unaware of the situation. Mayor Smith responded to our request by saying she will read the petition, look into the situation, and discuss with the administration; and will thereafter follow up with an email.

Keeping in mind that Council has more than just swim lanes to deal with, we have no idea how long it will take before a decision is rendered pursuant to our request. Accordingly, I have extended the petition deadline until July 31, 2025 in case there are swimmers who were unable to express their concerns prior to the July 7 council meeting.

Hopefully, the lane dilemma will be resolved quickly!

Regards,
