I note there will be an exit ramp for this road as well. It looks like poor planning to me. Why would you want to live along such a large and busy traffic corridor? It is wide enough to get to 4 lanes easily and 6 with little imagination.
It looked so odd. Like big homes along Homer Watson or Fischer Hallman here.. why?
Most of these houses on Elmira Road were part of a subdivision that was draft plan approved and rezoned in the 1980s, but not built until the last 5-10 years. Under current policies in Guelph's Official Plan, this type of planning would not be supported today.
