We have a library in Thornbury & Collingwood. Money could be better spent on affordable housing, I think !!!

Totally unnecessary and a waste of taxpayer dollars. There is no mandate to do this. The money would be better allocated to affordable housing for which there is a desperate need.

Would certainly like the Depot to be maintained as it is a part of our collective history BUT not the expansion they are talking about. Transportation i.e. buses should be the priority and along with that affordable housing alternatives which seem to go together

Other priorities in town are needed, adorable housing should be first on the list

Given the pressing issues of the town which are classified as determinants of health such as: affordable housing, transportation, access to healthcare, etc. Funds for an expansion of the Craigleith Depot is not an appropriate ‘ask’ or ‘allocation’ of our tax dollars. Added to this is the uncertainty of the future if the expansion of hwy 26. Hopefully, the current council unlike ones before will consider this ask in the context of the ‘bigger’ picture and not solely within the context of the corner of Hwy 26 and Grey Road 19.

This plan is incredibly ill-conceived and is completely inappropriate for the community at this time. The Depot is a historical site, and should be preserved as such, but the current focus for our community needs to be affordable housing and transportation!

Expansion of L.E. Shore Library is supportable Craigleith Depot Library expansion makes little sense.

I would support some investment in the depot but this strikes me as overkill especially considering the other comparable resources in our area and the out of the way location of the depot

The Depot should be declared a historical building and preserved as is, so much history surrounds that building

I live within walking distance to the Depot but would still go to the Collingwood library even if they built it. A gargantuan waste of resources. I am stunned that a smart person would have proposed this idea

I believe funds would be better allocated elsewhere. I do not believe this “expansion” is necessary or will be utilized as predicted by those who are proposing the project.

Prioritize our tax dollars to serve the most people in the community— ie a recreation centre and expansion of the LE Shore library

We need a REC centre. No one uses the depot, it is always empty. I drive by 3-4 times a day. Not sure 6.5 M will bring the crowds. Spend the money where it is needed/wanted.

An ill-conceived waste of money!
