On Tuesday ,a recommendation to spend $90.thousand on a short leg of sidewalk was on the agenda.
It stretches from Yonge Street ,on the north side of Golf Links Drive, to the western edge of the double driveway of Highland Green Condominiums.
It includes that double driveway of Tim Horton's drive-thru.
A berm and mature trees screen the drive -thru from the multiple storey senior residence
on the south side of the road . They would be a requiremed by the town to allow a drive-thru to be in that location .
they will have to be removed to accommodate the sidewalk.
The front pedestrian entrance of the condominium is serviced already by Yonge Street sidewalk south to the signalized intersection.
The south side of Golf Links Driveway is serviced throughout it's length by sidewalk.Paid for by the developer no doubt.
That side of the donut shop parking lot is often busy with young people and their cars. It's a
gathering place.
There are a number of reasons why it's not a good place for a sidewalk besides those noted above. But the story of how it came about is even more interesting.
Tomorrow I will count the number of trees to be removed.
It's not mentioned in the report.

Cllr Humfryes' turf. Where she gets upset at the sight of a smashed pumpkin on the road the day after Hallowe'en.
I thought all this construction work was planned & covered in the budget in advance. Certainly the road work has to work its way up the ladder for attention. How come this is turning up now ?
