As someone who is walking King Street East more days of the week than not, I am pretty disappointed with the new owners of Brookside, Terraco Development. They have cleared the sidewalks on King and Cottesmore once this winter, leaving snow and ice to build up otherwise.
I have been repeatedly in touch with the town, as well as reaching out to Terraco Development via the email listed on their website. Terraco has not responded at all to any emails. On January 21, a bylaw officer told me that the town had been in touch with the owner, and that they had been told a company had been retained for sidewalk maintenance. Unfortunately, several snowfalls since then and nothing.
This is a danger to seniors and those with reduced mobility in Cobourg, and it contravenes the town's property standards bylaw.
If Terraco is hoping to establish good community relationships and be a part of this community, they're not off to a good start.
