Good call

In 1990, the city wrote a letter to the province about the potential of closing the Kortright/Hanlon intersection.

"In that the at grade intersection conditino will remain in place at the Hanlon Expressway and Kortright Road for a number of years, it seems likely that development may have to be allowed to proceed without addressing the future access to the area. The problem will not become acute until the ministry proceeds to construct the flyover at the Hanlon/Kortright intersection," writes city engineer R.D. Funnell.

Those words sound prophetic now, with residents upset about impacts on John Gamble Park and the YMCA frustrated about the loss of access seemingly facing it.
