I'd love to have an incentive to redevelop Renfrew other than simply loving my location. We've had to jump through a number of hoops and red tape that are standard process with the city. I feel bad for areas like Inglewood or Bridgeland where the sewer is so old you have to replace the whole thing when you do your hookup, my part of Renfrew isn't old enough to have that problem.
BUT we did get screwed by the city taking a 3mx3m corner off of our property so that waste and recycling could turn down our alley.. that they can't turn out of.
