Maple Community Garden

A discussion about the CP rail issue will happen at the start of the July 7th work party at 7:00pm. Please be in attendance.

CPR has posted information about the Arbutus Corridor including letters issued, encroachments notice and a survey plan detailing where unauthorized encroachments exist:

The notice to remove encroachments was provided to Shaughnesey residents, an area where property lines have been marked. Maple Community Garden is shown on page 6 of the survey plan.

Property lines have yet to be marked along the 6th Avenue gardens (Maple, Cypress, Pine). A representative from Cypress Community Garden will be following up with CP Rail as to when they will be conducting the survey; media will also be contacted in the coming days.
Cypress Community Garden responded to a media inquiry regarding the notices as follows:

“Cypress garden has not received any formal notice yet, but are expecting some sort of future notice since the new CPR “official survey maps” show our gardens as “unauthorized encroachments”. We look forward to working with the City and CPR to resolve this tension and find a sustainable land use model that brings more certainty to the future of all community gardens along the Arbutus corridor.”

Media inquiries can be directed to Cypress Community Garden.
