For many years a closed a gas station has sat beside the LCBO store on Dundas St. West by Jane St. The property and spouted pipes and grew pumps and quietly hummed with the operation of pumps for many years as what was ever in the soil was removed. Now it appears to be clean. The owner of the property is attempting to lease a building he wants to build on the site now, as for the lease sign indicates.





The question is just what does this strip of Dundas St West need in terms of retail stores now, or does it need anything at all? Surely it will end up being a car centric retail operation as everything else around the site is and walking traffic is nil. Or are we starting a new retail NIMBYism for WTO?
