Historic Osgoode Hall trees spared by interim injunction — for now
In its statement, Metrolinx said it had met with the law society 17 times “to avoid unnecessary delays that will cause significant financial consequences to taxpayers and commuters.”The provincial transit agency’s plans to remove several trees on the grounds of Osgood Hall to accommodate the construction of a station on its planned Ontario Line have raised concerns from vocal advocates.
The location of the proposed subway station, Osgoode Hall, is the oldest continuously used institutional property in Toronto and it, along with its 1867 heritage fence and the grounds surrounding it, are designated under the Ontario Heritage Act and have been recognized as one of Canada’s most significant heritage assets.
