Improving Entrance Features
|
|
Both Redstart Drive (RD) and Sir John's Homestead (SJH) intersect with
Dundas Street. The Grange - an historic property housing the Mississauga
Historical Society - is situated on the north-west corner of SJH and
Dundas. The three other corners have "entrance features" - decorative
plantings which are maintained by the City of Mississauga.
The Association is working with city staff to jointly improve the entrance
feature at the NW corner of RD and Dundas. Association volunteers have
refurbished the sign (Sir John's Homestead) and done some initial clearing
to improve visibility of the sign.
A plan is being developed to replace some shrubs, create a garden in front
of the sign, and populate the garden with a mixture of flowering perennials
and bulbs to provide a colourful display.
In the fall of 2011, the city removed old shrubs under the "sign", expanded
the bed, replaced the soil, and planted spring bulbs - tulips and crocuses.
