When Ward 1 Councillor Kelvin Galbraith was doing his virtual community meeting earlier this week he made mention of a change that had been made to the Station West development the ADI Group has underway. Word is that the town houses are basically sold out.

Next phase will be the condominiums that will be built at the northwest corner of the development where Waterdown Road intersections with Masonry Road.

Sometime in April the ADI people asked the community where they would like the park to be and put up a graphic showing what they had in mind.

Many were stunned by what was being offered.

The small patch of land at the bottom of three high rise condos (in the 29 to 34 storey range) was the original park location.

According to Galbraith ADI has seen the error of their ways and decided to place a park to the north of the condo towers closer to the pond.

During a short tour of the property with camera in hand we photographed the pond and the piece of property the park would be located on. It could work – it is certainly better than what was offered back in April.
