Redevelopment of Esso Site Delayed
On January 22, a resident of our neighbourhood wrote to Councillor S. Devine
and the Association’s president that the [western] welcome mat to our
neighbourhood is 1545 Woodroffe, and at the this time it is turning into a
slum mall.
In its 02/13 newsletter, Councillor S. Devine’s office reported that notice had been
recently received that site plan approval for 1545 Woodroffe was being extended to allow the developer more time to get the project underway.
It was reported that the risk of not granting an extension is that the developer
would then have to start the process from scratch. That could result in even more delays. Our
Community Association and our Councillor are eager to see work get underway on
the site, impacted by September 21, 2018 tornado . He is hopeful that work will
begin this year and “will keep an eye on the file and continue doing what
we can to encourage the project to move forward”.
