General Urban Waterloo Updates and Rumours

[BuildingScout]

Not when you have commenters disparaging the committee tasked with preserving built heritage when they speak out in favour of preserving built heritage.

I missed the part when they spoke in favour of preserving a heritage building. From all I heard there were just defending a mediocre old building.

Let me give you an example of what I mean: I would defend the Button factory if it came under threat, and I defended the Waterloo Train Station when it was defaced with that boring square addition on its back.

Those are truly heritage structures worth defending. The legion has no particular value and I'm indifferent, from a heritage perspective if it is refurbished or torn down. From an environmental perspective I'm in favour of reuse, while from an intensification/urban planning perspective I would favour it be replaced by something like 36 Regina St. N.
