Meanwhile, here is a historical gem concerning the northern part of Harbord Village, then known as the Sussex Area (bounded by Harbord to the south, Bathurst, Bloor, and Spadina). In 1966, the City wanted to demolish all the homes in the Sussex Area, replacing them with numerous high-rise apartment buildings and parks.This proposal was linked to the plan to turn Spadina Road and Spadina Avenue into an expressway. The document available below announced a meeting to discuss the City's proposal for the Sussex Area, held on November 28, 1966. The City's plan for the Sussex Area appears to have died at the meeting. The plan for the Spadina Expressway did not die until 1971.
