It would add time to the route, but the stop spacing would be about the same as james to mary (430m).

Currently zoned C6 which has a 14.0m height limit so it'll need to get around that. Hope they include ground floor commercial as well.

Yeah that would be great, students can definitely liven an area! The concept art is giving me very 1960s/70s vibes lol.

The high rates have caused a slump in condo sales, the housing market has also slowed down quite a bit. I'm currently looking and its night and day to last year. Most places are staying up for weeks because sellers are still asking for prices they would have got before the rates went up. Place...

This highlights an issue I've found with public feedback in that people fear both increased traffic and lack of parking (I guess they think street parking will become chaotic), and the developers then increase the parking alotment to appease the locals but then this exacerbates their fear of...

Also quotes the waterloo official saying the poor winter service is due to lack of penalties in the contract, so it isn't all rosy. It's going to be MX's choice in the end but the City should maintain the position of HSR operations. JP Danko came out against Matlow on twitter in what seemed...

Brutal. Maybe if the planners at the city hadn't located all the neighborhood's commericial in a single place only accesible by car they wouldn't have such extreme traffic issues.

I'll chime in on roads because its something I know a bit about. Hamilton basically has 2 grades of road repair. 1) Shave and pave - the top layer is milled off, and a new suface layer put down, maybe small areas of full depth repair depending on condition - no change to road geometry 2) Full...

Lev living already owns the retirement home. With their aberdeen proposal it was geared towards seniors with more independance and potentially transitioning into the retirement home. I'd be surprised if this wasn't something similar.

They would likely need to do an archaelogical study anyways, which would determine if the project can go ahead, that's pretty standard stuff. But opposing it based on being in proximity itself is just silly.

Yeah but what does character of the surrounding really mean and is that even a good thing, Without change everything would be frozen as-is which is part of what led us here in the first place. If the site is appropriate based on actual quantifiable metrics then there shouldn't be an issue.

Yeah I feel like these places never go for mixed use which is unfortunate, you'd think a retail tenant or something medical would help offset the costs. Hard to complain otherwise.

Anyone know whats going on with the empty lot beside this plaza on the other side of Bowen?

I went to the meeting for this way back, glad to see it's finally moving forward. Dundurn really needs to be more built up with shops (could be a second Locke). Amusingly one of the nimby complaints was that an apartment building didn't fit in with the neighbourhood character, this complaint was...

Much better than the standard approach of slapping the address on the building in large arial font.

Would be nice if the city would opt for granite or pavers for the sidewalk (not to mention the street itself) on KW, the concrete treatment has a very suburban look to it. I work right around here so I look forward to some more lunch options coming.

AFAIK the RFQ was supposed to happen Jan or Feb anyways.

some sort of cruel reverse uno for the building next door painting their brick white?

The unit count does seem high, makes me wonder if they're aiming high and the real number is far less than that, or as mentioned they are looking to get the zoning revised and then sell the whole plot.

So much for the red brick lol
