Glad tidings

This sign has appeared at 792 Gladstone, right at the back of St Anthony's Church. The house formerly was a holistic health clinic or something, now it is a violin maker. Very nice sign.

Infill on Gladstone between Booth and LeBreton. Two story residential above one storey commercial. This is certainly the right type of infill for a small lot.

Gladstone Ave. north side boulevard

While I think it would have been better to have planted trees that will have an eventual mature size that is significant, this streetscaping is still attractive. The city planted columnar/fastigate oaks and maples along the boulevard on the north side of the street. The stems look rather beat up, but the trees are growing.

More significantly, the boulevard is on what used to be a vehicular lane. Several years ago the City tore up the asphalt and narrowed the road. The sky has not subsquently fallen, irredemably terrible traffic chaos has not been the result. A pleasant streetscape has appeared.

We need a lot more of this type of asphalt removal and greenscaping.
