Residents unite to save Victoria Glen Woolwich looking at declaring the land surplus, opening the door to residential development
The threat of losing some green space has a large group of Elmira residents seeing red. Woolwich councillors can expect to get an earful Tuesday night as they discuss turning a portion of Victoria Glen park over to developers. At issue is a township proposal to declare as surplus a total of about three acres of land it owns, a prelude perhaps to a builder clearing the forest to make room for residential development. The properties in question are in Elmira’s north end, bounded by Victoria Glen Street, Snyder Avenue North and Dunke Street North. The Kissing Bridge Trail See VICTORIA GLEN page »02
