Despite the negative headline, this article actually has a lot of good news for the village. Subway is moving to 445 Stradbrook (strip mall at the corner of Osborne and Stradbrook). The current subway location will become a new cafe/bar with a patio. And apparently the old Starbucks location is under renovation.

Sounds like a win win win to me.

Agreed, sounds like good news.

The Free Press could run a perfectly nice story about a new business opening in the Village that briefly mentions litter and it would run under the headline "New business struggle to open amid Osborne Village trash chaos".

Seriously! The gist of the article talks about improvements in O.V., but the headline screams "problems in the Village". Kind of sickening, actually.

Yeah the headline is kind of upsetting. I've heard that journalists don't write the headlines, editors do. Maybe one of the WFP editors thought this dramatic headline would generate more clicks.

Fear sells

The buildings at the corner of River Ave and Wellington Crescent have been demolished. Looks like construction on the new building will start this summer.

Is the old Tudor house at the corner of Wilmot also part of this project? It’s been boarded up since it was hit by the bus.

Yes, it's gone as of yesterday.

I think this is where the new Subway location will be. The address is 445 Stradbrook Ave. It looks like they are opening up the side wall for maybe a new entrance or a patio, not really sure.

WinCitySparky · #**4711** Posted **May 4, 2025, 3:26 PM**

A good and sensible move on their part.

trueviking · #**4712** Posted **May 4, 2025, 4:44 PM**

It — that the main intersection has become the worst place to be in the village. It should be the focal point of the area.

ColdRain&Snow · #**4713** Posted **May 5, 2025, 9:39 PM**

Anyone know if the City has sold the lot at 145 Osborne St yet? The soil remediation work happened last year and the property is being used as a parking lot again.

Mr Tall Forehead · #**4714** Posted **May 6, 2025, 12:18 AM**

I haven’t heard anything but I really hope something happens to that lot soon. It looks worse now than it did before the soil remediation. At then it was a paved parking lot.

ColdRain&Snow · #**4715** Posted **May 6, 2025, 4:35 PM**

Subway sign is up now at 445 Stradbrook. Hopefully the vacant unit where Tokyo Smoke used to be will get filled soon.

ColdRain&Snow · #**4716** Posted **May 6, 2025, 4:37 PM**

The site at 51 Roslyn Road is now being cleared. Sorry for the sideways photo.

It would be nice if Mac’s or circle k or whatever it is called now moved over there and then its current building would be empty and ready for demo lol. Macs sells the same stuff as shoppers and Safeway so it would be nice to have those three businesses spread out a little bit.

Completely agree, doubt it will happen though.

The new building at 414/418 Gertrude Ave was approved by the Community Committee with no one registered in opposition. I would guess that this project will move through the rest of City Hall without any issues.

Now that summer is here, anyone hearing any rumours around some tenants for the new CRUs?
