OT alert!

I agree Churchill is not a pristine ecological jewel in its current state, but it is immediately adjacent to one and needs to be designed in a way that will help protect Cootes.

I agree with alot of what Dr. Minor has to say, but I must admit I have a hard time understanding how the loss of the amount of non-native turf grass that would be taken up by a 1.5m granular pathway will make or break the survival of a species, particularly when the RBG itself wants the pathway to protect the woods.

But of course his points on the unfairness of taking schools away from families who have made the conscious choice to move to a walkable community, in order to give schools to families who chose car-dependent communities with no pre-existing schools, are dead on!
