With Kae Elgie, did you mean 'further south of this site' and 'further north than the Bauer condos'? I am wondering because if meant what you said, that's mostly outside UTW. (Further south of Bauer is getting into Kitchener).
Of course, unless you meant what you said, and it included UTW, then yeah, that's really Banana's.
With Kae and several others, opposition to development has been pretty consistent for anything within Peppler, Marshall, Erb, Westmount, Union, Moore, Bridgeport. Generally it's always along the thread of there being too many shadows cast near LRT stations and the most important regional road, not enough parking near the highest usage of active transportation, and everything is heritage so fragile that not only can old buildings not be changed, but they can't be forced to be near new buildings, either. I would much prefer if the money they currently force developers to spend on years of extra financial carrying costs and lawyers be instead spent on better design, or more affordable developments, because they well know that the impacts they impose (how many years of Alexandra condo delays have they put forward?) are in the millions and beyond.
