I attended the first session of the virtual public meeting and immediately registered to speak in favour of project on July 15. There was a lot of virtriol and frustration, however there were some who spoke up in favour of the project to counter the claim that "no one wanted this project in the neighbourhood". Some on the call missed the point that this was the first step in the process and that the next few months would involve more discussion about the final outcome of the project.
Among the resident's concerns were that this space was an informal green space for 20-30 years which many had come to assume was part of the park system. Comparing the north end of the Beechwood West block and the south end of the block, it definitely seems like the south end has less green space in general other than a few trails or linear parks.
