A few residents were already upset that the cannabis shop had its door open, even though it was only supposed to offer curbside service, and they had contacted the city’s bylaw enforcement.
At the insistence of Ferguson, council has sent letters to the commission, and several to the provincial government in an effort to prevent the pot shop from opening.
“Well done, AGCO,” said Magyar.
Andrea Winchester, a resident in the neighbourhood, who has helped to rally parents in opposition to the pot shop, said she is concerned about the children’s safety with the expected additional traffic the shop will attract.
Mitchell is fed up with the commission, who has all but ignored residents and the city’s concerns.
But residents still say the surrounding roads are unsafe for children, especially along Fiddler’s Green over Highway 403 and the intersection at Fiddlers Green Road, Enmore Ave.
