I don’t think it will be as bad (for the land owners) as it seems. The extension will not run parallel to Burnhamthorpe but more south westerly and thus only the east part of the lot will be effected. You see this if you draw a line in Google maps from the current east end of Webb Dr to the west end of Enfield Pl.

Your layout is very close to what is taking place now. They have removed more of the south-west corner of the lot that is more toward the north-east corner of the school yard leaving space for a wide sidewalk with green space between the sidewalk and the school from what I shot today.

That extension is long over due and will offer better access to the school and the street based on the pools of water that is there along with mud ponds that existed today as well the past few decades. There used to be access to the school on the west side, but was closed years ago leaving access only on the east side.

i expect the remaining land on the southside of the new road will become part of the existing park as part of section 37 requirement.

Such an enlightening post.

Then tell me how I'm wrong.

Frankly, Toronto is extremely boring, blinkered and provincial next to real "world class cities." So it's silly, unnecessarily divisive and a false dichotomy to set up Toronto and Mississauga in opposition.

Many people had replied to your post (and I won't be repeating what they said) but looks like all those were deleted. It's strange that trolling is allowed but replying to trolling is not.

What's interesting for you could be boring for someone else. I can't see myself living in downtown with shoebox size condos, aggressive homeless people, drug addicts, smell of piss at every corner (even at the entrance to Union), barely any space to walk, lack of greenery, worst traffic congestion. The list can go on. In suburbs, there are other problems but I'd rather deal with those than deal with downtown's problems.

90% of GTA's population lives in suburbs like Mississauga. They don't find it boring. You are in the minority.

Well enlightened or not, I can say I disagree...as I think London, Ont. fits that bill. As had lived there in the anecdote, I can confidently say, Mississauga is a 100 kilometres and a mile ahead here...

...I can also say, Mississauga does have some interesting elements, but not all of that is in a good way. And for what that's worth.

Figured I’d post a pic now that they put up the signals (still covered up).

Interesting to note there aren’t any facing traffic coming from the expected Webb Dr extension. So I guess they don’t expect that to be built any time soon.

It does really seem close to Burnhamthorpe.

It is close. But it’s the natural grid so what can we do.
