I didn't realize that the pews were still in the Sanctuary. Makes it a bit challenging as a party venue, I should think. I wonder if they won't be using the wonderful circular space at the back of the complex? That is a space that could be developed into something terrific in its own right. RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - jamincan - 10-30-2018 I think I'm out of the loop - is it still a church, or has it been sold? I agree, that circular space at the back of the church is spectacular.

God has left the building. https://www.therecord.com/news-story/7046272-former-zion-united-church-in-kitchener-won-t-be-demolished-owner-says/ RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - tomh009 - 10-30-2018 LCBO construction at 332 King St W is progressing ... RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - panamaniac - 10-30-2018 So, is the gap on the east side of the building meant for cars, or will it be a pedestrian walkway to the rear parking?

Based on the drawings, it looks like a walkway, not a driveway. RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - Spokes - 10-30-2018 I had no idea there was such a gap. That's awful. It's King Street!! How is there no street wall.

Here's hoping - the idea that there could be new "driveways" off King St in DTK strikes me as seriously small town. RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - JoeKW - 10-30-2018 I think the gap allows the neighbouring building to be torn down and fully use their space for a tower. I'm just guessing though.

I'm just guessing though. You never know. Although it doesn't give them a ton of extra space. Are they the same owners? RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - jamincan - 10-30-2018 This is also why it's so important to study our cycling infrastructure as a network. The parkway is a major barrier to cyclists and pedestrians, so rectifying it should have been forefront on the thoughts of city and regional planners. I don't buy for a minute that the MTO would have rebuild Victoria Street without some consultation with local municipalities. We've seen them include active transportation infrastructure elsewhere when rebuilding bridges, so I don't see why the same couldn't have happened here. RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - Lens - 10-30-2018 Isn't the gap going to be a little parkette?

That doesn't seem to fit. RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - danbrotherston - 10-30-2018 I'd much rather a park than the parking lot I am anticipating. RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - tomh009 - 10-30-2018 It's definitely not a parking lot. A walkway with landscaping -- does that make it a parkette? |
