Benjamin Road is actually on the Woolwich side of the boundary but it was assumed to straddle the border for many years. I believe that this came to light when City and Township were discussing possible improvements to the road a few years ago.

I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised. After 200 years of development, there are all sorts of surprises hiding in built-environment geography. The best that I heard was about a century old County road in another County that turned out to be running over private property. In that case, the municipality and the owner came to a quick agreement to transfer ownership of the property to the County.

There's already development east of Fountain on the south side of Victoria with a big new subdivision currently under construction off Greenhouse Rd.

More horrible zoning. Small commercial uses should be allowed throughout the new development. We don’t need more residential monocultures.

Small plot of land on the corner of Greenfield and Northumberland, directly across from the foodland has a sign up for singles and towns. Its sandwiched between the two roads, a forest and a service line running to grain silos (service line is still in use)
Development may potentially be larger than it appears however, as a friend mentioned he was starting work soon on a reasonably sized development roughly in the same vicinity of where the signs went up.

Gotta love the NIMBYs who transplant themselves into a community that they were not always part of and then feel entitled to dictate how it will develop because they want to LARP that it's still 1955 small town Ontario. The objection by Craig Nichols is completely bizarre. He objects to this development because he thinks the people moving in are going to be staring at his teenage daughters...what the hell?
