Invisible No More

It only took 41 years for Buchanan Road residents to be remembered.
And thank goodness Debbie Fisher took it upon herself to get the ball rolling and start a petition!

For what?
For natural gas! 
Finally.

Debbie Fisher, who lives at the corner of Ricardo and Buchanan Roads in Coldstream, has circulated a petition among residents along Buchanan Road to gauge interest in asking Fortis to install a natural gas line along the road.  Currently, all residents from approximately the eastern end of Coldstream Estates subdivision all the way east to approximately Warren Road have only electric heat (or some other homeowner choice such as propane).

Yes, despite gas "being available all around us", we've been forgotten out here.
Forgotten time and again, even as the population (density) increased.

Yes indeed.

Even Shaw Cable said "no" to residents' requests for cable television because the population along this "rural road doesn't warrant installing the service"...so residents have satellite dishes for TV reception.

And then several years ago, out of the blue, Shaw Cable canvassed residents to ascertain if we wanted cable television and internet packages!
We said "no thanks" because we have three satellite dishes for the residence and clubhouse.

Back to Fortis gas.

We Buchanan Road residents will soon be able to look up project status on their website...no, no mention of our project is displayed yet.  But hopefully will be soon.

Debbie Fisher said she emailed Fortis' Peter Hill on June 4th.  On June 15th, he replied that he has the entire list of names and addresses from the petition, and that the planning department is working on developing pricing for the project.

He said to "stay tuned"...which, in itself, is very encouraging!

Buchanan Road residents were forgotten for many years...

Thanks Debbie!
Seems we Buchanan Road residents are invisible no more...
