As a kid Westdel Bourne was a gravel road in horrific condition, and it was the “back way” to get from Byron to Kilworth. That was a fun road to ride on. Now you go up there to go to McDonald’s - instead of the fun of a bumpy road, you get the fun of a Happy Meal.
Quite impressive what’s going in there.

Part of why that area seemed so far out of town was how you had to get there out through Byron. Once they opened that bridge on Oxford St, it really seemed to bring that area closer to the city and now it's just a seamless transition.
