Letters to Editor | London Development Concerns

Hello,

As a resident of Hale Street living near the southern end of the street, I am opposed to the construction of a railway overpass at Hale and Trafalgar.  Our street is too busy as it is and creating another quick and easy route to Hamilton Road (and thus to the 401) will just [...]

Urban growth boundary change
I hope city council collectively removes the box over its head and opens its eyes to examine and observe real life in London. More people, like myself, are giving up car ownership and using public transit and bicycles. With a change in the boundary, will there [...]

Meadowlilly and Walmart
It’s only a matter of time before another corporate interest gets to destroy the natural beauty of London. The Walmart is a done deal, and the woods will be torn down to make way for a monstrosity that peddles cheap plastic crap from China. The issue is in London, every [...]

Meadowlily study needed before changes
The last municipal master plan of the Meadowlily Woods area dates from 1988. With increasing awareness about the Thames River watershed, it is high time for the city to do a new comprehensive study of this environmentally significant area and its surroundings. Such a study must be completed and widely [...]

Letters to Editor | Meadowlily | July 27th 2008

Is it ’self-interest’ to educate & raise awareness to the [...]

Meadowlily Woods
Who controls-or should control-urban planning? Should a pristine, natural wildlife habitat be turned into yet another concrete monstrosity, with the surrounding area blighted by garbage and junk?
Many concerned London citizens want to maintain the natural, unsullied green at Meadowlily Woods. Sadly, American corporate developers see only the green of [...]
