This is a photo of my public school, Mallow Road P.S. This is the path I walked down every day from age 5 to 11 (kindergarten to grade 6). These are the fields where we played British Bulldog and which were flooded in the winter so we could skate and play hockey.
All this will be gone in due time. The entire area is fenced off now. The Toronto District School Board sold the property to a developer to raise much needed funds. A short-sighted plan as deemed by many.
The development proposal is for 10-four storey townhomes fronting The Donway East; a centre block of 16-four storey semis on a new public street; and 12-three storey and 1-two storey detached homes fronting onto the new road and backing onto the existing residential neighbourhood to the south and east.
A part of many people's childhoods will soon be gone.
