“Who looks not before finds himself behind.”
This is a quote from Pubilius Syrus in the First Century BC. I learned this from a February 8th editorial in the North Shore News about Ambleside. The author thinks that the residents of Ambleside are averse to change possibly because almost half of the residents of Ambleside are over the age of sixty-five.
However, I think we can all agree as the writer points out that our "neighbourhood is more than deserving of some rejuvenation”.
Some benefits to revitalization, as pointed out in the article, are:
Housing options to match current/future needs
Greater walkability
Public amenities
Beautiful public spaces
Lower carbon emissions
Commercial vibrancy
Renewed infrastructure
Diversified tax base
A place for our workforce to bed down at night.

There are workshops planned this week to discuss possible options to rejuvenate Ambleside at the Seniors' Activity Centre. All eight in-person and virtual workshop dates are full, with registration closed. Maybe Ambleside residents are not all that 'averse to change'.
