Neighbours strike out twice in fighting higher, denser housing in Waterloo
Upset residents could not persuade Waterloo city council to reject a 30-storey tower proposed in one neighbourhood and 11 townhouses proposed in another.
Councillors approved both developments this month, telling neighbours that Waterloo needs more homes in denser buildings, and urging residents to make peace with changes that are coming to their streets.
Four detached houses will be demolished at two locations to make way for the contested projects.
