General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours

A private high school coming to downtown:

• Building permit 20-104761 MS
  
• 137 QUEEN ST S
  
• Non-Residential Alteration
  
• Permit is for change of use for existing St. Paul's Lutheran Church to be partial converted to Stanford Academy private high school

Personally, I believe this impact on traffic would be larger than even a mid sized apartment building, because school start is syncronized, and, I'm going to guess a lot of private school pupils are from families more spread out in the region than a public school, who are quite likely to drive their children. Have they been forced to do traffic studies? I don't even know, because nobody even bothered to tell people who live across the street from this.

I really doubt this would have a significant traffic impact. I think their current campus has fewer than 100 students, and most of the international students are living on (or within a walking distance from) the campus.
