If you have been in the Dufferin Street and Rutherford Road intersection in the past month, you may have noticed two signs. One sign is on the north side of Rutherford Road, east of Dufferin Street; the other sign is on Dufferin Street, on the east side, north of Rutherford Road. The signs are a notice of a zoning change and a development approval.
