Meeting tonight to discuss Glebe Manor Lawn

Josh Matlow (Ward 22) has convened a meeting tonight (Wednesday, June 18, 2014) to sort out the plan to sell off the Glebe Manor Lawn Bowling Club for residential development. The matter has been around for a few months apparently but it was not on the radar of most of the community. Now it is, and the widespread feeling is that the small green parcel of land at 196 Manor Road should become a City Parkette. City staff has been asked to pursue the question with executives at the club, who are said to have chosen a developer. What is the property worth and can Toronto Parks pay for it? The meeting gets underway at 7 p.m. tonight at Hodgson Senior Public School at 282 Davisville Ave.
