It isn't a long walk to Meadowbrook Golf Course but it's still worth walking; however, it is a different walk than it was just a few years ago since they cut down the trees along the road. My motto is (and the motto of a lot of other people), "if it's not broken, don't fix it." But some people have to change things for the sake of changing them and they spoil it for the rest of us. I expect, one of these days, it will be announced that condos and townhouses will be built on the golf course, I hope not, but I am not optimistic. . . Consider the following, this is a huge tract of land owned by a corporation that isn't sentimental and is out to make money; the road to this land has been cleared of trees so heavy equipment can easily travel to the future work site; and, finally, new hydro power lines have been installed delivering the electricity necessary to service the possible new development. As I said, I am not optimistic but I do support this land being preserved as it is in perpetuity. Money, in selling houses and increased tax revenue, wins out over a poorly paved road and a second rate golf course, especially in a city where there is lots of money to be made from building and selling condos and houses; meanwhile, there is a group of dedicated people who may be able to stop the development of this last large green space in this part of the city and we need them to succeed. .
