On the proposed narrowing of Lansdowne's streets, by Councellor Giambrone- (Taken from The Etobicoke Guardian)
"...Amid the sea of big yellow "Giambrone Don't Narrow Lansdowne!" signs lining the length of the street, a small poster attached to Ian Gray's front door voicing approval of the councillor's plans for the street has marked him a visible minority among his neighbours, he said.
"The sign thanks Giambrone for what I think will be a big improvement for our street," Gray said, making note of the noisy trucks that currently barrel up and down their cracked, bumpy street. "This project will pretty it up, reduce the noise and traffic and add some new trees."
A self-professed tree-hugger, the teacher said he was recently a victim of vandalism when someone snapped a three-year-old birch tree on his front lawn in two. He said he believes the act was in retaliation for his support of Giambrone..."
That birch tree was five-ten centimetres through, and will be missed.
