This has been an exhausting…

This has been an exhausting and quite frankly horrible time for the residents of Millcroft. It is one thing to allow development of a stand alone golf course like Richview or Saw Whet.This is an entirely different scenario. Millcroft Golf Course literally weaves through this community and its green beauty defines this neighborhood . To have allowed any development on this beautiful green space is a travesty for the environment, and the residents. The builder has no respect for those who already live here. Our Provinicial Government appears to be pro development with no consideration to what has and still is happening in this community. It feels like even though the city appears to be against further development, there is something going on that is allowing a steam roller effect crush Millcroft with development that no one who lives here wants.

I remember during one of the original zoom meetings, the developer’s lawyer, with a lecturing tone of voice told us to accept the first phase and that at least we would still have a scaled back golf course. He also threatened that if we didn’t, the entire area might end up developed with an end result of no golf course. Was that always the plan?

We golfed there on Sunday. The portion of the 15th hole that has been destroyed for development leaves one to wonder how can they even build anything of aesthetic value on that oddly shaped lot. One can hope that homebuyers will stay away in droves.
