Dear Editor:
I am a concerned resident of Edgemont Village, often described as unique.
Firstly, parking has always been a problem and now more traffic.
What will it be like three years from now with relatives visiting the new care home, The Connaught with about 80 units (with some public underground parking), condo development at Edgemont and Ridgewood and more condos at Connaught and Crescentview? This is a lot of traffic, which will include massive grocery delivery vans to the supermarket and the care home, garbage and green bin trucks, big moving vans and the noise of ambulances visiting the care home at all hours!
In the mornings there are moms and dads delivering their very little people to the play schools in the united church, but first trying to find parking – no drop-offs here!
On a more positive note, Trims Silk Flower shop, a 20-year attraction in the village, has found a new home on Woodbine and in Trims’ previous home on Edgemont there will be a market to help local people buy groceries after removal of the Village Market.
A village “refresher” was planned some time ago but not on a scale like this.
Maybe it’s too late.
