Reminds me of when Vancouver City Council declared the Cambie Street Boulevard a "heritage boulevard" to prevent the Province from running an above ground skytrain along that route. Home owners in the area lobbied against above ground. So the Province built cut-and-cover. There were delays and cost over-runs. Businesses along the route closed up. BUT it made homeowners much richer because their homes were bought by developers to build condos all along the route. This move in Oakville to limit development will secure and raise value for homeowners there. Glenn Abbey, like the Cambie corridor, does not deserve heritage designation.
