Same Crazy Thinking as ROM Building Puts Highway Through Neighbourhood

Is it any wonder the ROM "invisible icon," (love that developer line and especially the citizen that asked what an "invisible building" [icon] looked like) 45 story tall building next door to the museum got canned! Totally, out of context with its environment.

Putting a highway through a residencial neighbourhood (ours) is just as "out of context" as the ROM building was before the project was ended. Egg all round I should think.

Folks, I think we now have a fight on our hands as the city (I exclude Councillor Walker here for the time being) is now lined up against Pedestrian Safety at Oxton-Oriole.

Oxton Avenue New 40 Km Signs Up Before Christmas

Word just in from Councillor Michael Walker...

Oxton Avenue's speed reduction from 50 km to the 40 km speed limit has been approved and the new sign limit signs should be up just before Christmas.

If you spot one of the new signs please send me an email me as I'm usually the last to hear about Oxton-Oriole improvements!

Drivers Were Car Horn Crazy Last Sunday!

Unbelievable...

That's all I can say! Last Sunday (Nov 7th, 2005) the car horns sounding at Oxton Avenue and Oriole Parkway were the worst I've ever heard them. Those poor people living in the corner building must have gone absolutely "nuts" with the sheer number of totally inconsiderate, irate and impatient drivers passing by their apartments.

The residents of that building will have to get themselves out to the upcoming public meeting regarding the corner of Oxton Avenue and Oriole Parkway. To learn more about this meeting click here.
