I stopped by Blatchford yesterday now that the snow is almost all gone. I saw kids playing in the park, a man walking his dog, and plenty of cars parked in the driveways; it was beautiful to see those signs that this is becoming a proper residential community. Encore has also already started working on their next homes, and someone was just finishing up a tour of one of their showhomes when I walked by. I also strolled through the park as much as I could -the trail paving is not done yet- and tried to check out the LRT construction. I got as far as the old runway (which is still there) until it got too muddy for me to continue on. I wonder if the soil by that runway was remediated even though the runway is still there? I hope so, because some geese were eating from a puddle in the mud adjacent to the runway (I think they were at least, because one was diving head-first until its feet were straight up in the air). Plenty of Canada Geese have already made the park their home as well, and they sure weren't pleased to see me! This area will look spectacular once the landscaping is finished, and until I got to the runway, I couldn't even believe that an airport used to be there. These 15 pictures don't do it justice (for example, you can't really tell how beautiful the paving stone walkways are), as I tried to show a bit of everything while staying within the limit. I highly recommend that you consider checking it out this summer!
