Smooth Operator



Photo by Cheryl Douglass
This photo was taken in the fall when our 50+ year old tree and old horse barn were still standing in the site of "our" future parking lot.

The work on the potential new parking lot continues. Today there was a beautiful snow fall in Toronto so the work installing lighting fixtures and connecting them to the energy grid was probably somewhat unpleasant for the contractors who were there today...

Contractors for this job are probably happy to be making some extra money for their holidays, but local residents aren't getting anything except for a collective cringe every time any work moves forward. We joke, "The lights will be helpful for our community garden," but we all concede that the giant concrete structures are aesthetically very disgusting and depressing. While they're tolerable with a light dusting of snow, we wonder how they'll feel on a smoggy summer's day.

If you'd like to send any insight or comments on our new parking lot, please feel free to email us and we'll post your comments as soon as possible.
