Working towards a greener Westboro
The WCA is applying for this funding. What we'd like to know is this: what area(s) of Westboro do you think could use some "greening" ? Please post your ideas in the comments below. Thank you!

update on Golden closure
As a follow-up to our December letter regarding the possible closure of Golden Avenue between Richmond and Byron, I and WCA vice-chair Cherolyn Knapp recently met with Councillor Leadman to clarify the status of this proposal.
We are able to confirm that:
- Bourk Family Developments (owners of Westboro Station) do not intend to proceed with their application to close the street at this time.
- No other closure applications for Golden Avenue are currently on the table or in the pipeline.
- In the near future the Councillor intends to use funds from her office to sponsor an analysis of the transportation impacts of any future closing. This study will take into account the issues and recommendations already identified in the Westboro/Highland/McKellar Park Area Traffic Management Study which is nearing completion.
