 RIVERDALE'S HALF-ROUND
BUILDING???
...
OR 20,000 CARS ON THE ROAD FOR A WHOLE
YEAR???*
Two mediation sessions were held at
the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) this summer to attempt to resolve the
differences between Citizens for Riverdale
Hospital (CRH) and Bridgepoint
Health with little success. Matters are now moving toward a hearing that is
scheduled to begin on November 6th, 2006.
The central outstanding issues revolve around:
- the environmental impact of demolishing the Half-Round
- the architectural and historical value of the building, and
- Bridgepoint's overall plan for the site.
