I do feel for the neighbours who are directly adjacent- living next to a 50-spot parking lot probably wouldn’t be pleasant.
It seems strange to me that the document talks about the fact that Highland Road is back-lotted in that stretch, and a driveway is not desirable because traffic is too fast. But these townhouses front onto Highland- that fast traffic doesn’t sound too pleasant for the future residents.
I hope that the frontage onto Highland is attractive, and that access by the residents on foot is easy and pleasant. It wasn’t mentioned in the document besides as a response by a staff member at one of the meetings, but this is extremely close (150 meters) to a 204 stop- these future residents will have very good transit if the development is designed to give them a nice walk to Highland.
