I can see the attraction of a development the Risbara Bros. are imagining for Scarborough Downs. My wife and I wait with anticipation of the coming phases planned. We’ve been to a few planned downtown areas and see the excitement that can be possible with this type of development. It may not be for everyone, yet it will be for those who want a walkable community, where people can “work, shop and play.” Scarborough has so much to offer. There are traditional neighborhoods for those who want that. Is there room for more than just that? Can the leaders of Scarborough see far enough into the future that The Downs could be the sustainable community of the future where we really do live, work and play? Let’s hope so. ~ Craig H.
