The development known as 126 Manor Road has finally begun with the demolition of the home at that address. Local residents will know that this home sits on the northwest corner of Manor and Redpath Ave. It is a three-way intersection where Redpath ends and over the years the old residence and the lot on which it sat went totally to seed. A large amount of growth and at least three unmaintained trees grew on the property. Today, the Davey Tree Service was writing up the final verdict on this strange wood. The scrubby brush has been pretty much removed and as far as Davey is concerned the remaining trees might be nice for squirrels but ít would be hard for anyone else to love them. Right now, they are scheduled to be cut down. Seems like a good call. As recorded here in a previous post, the lot will become the home to semi-detached homes after a previous three-unit plan was turned down. It was nip and tuck to keep the project from going to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB). The offices of Josh Matlow (Ward 22) managed to keep negotiations alive with the owner of the property and an alternative plan was agreed on.
