It's strange they are complaining about this project while nobody said a word about Station Park and 30 Francis which are in the exact same neighbourhood but considerably taller. Also, they love to say these sort of new projects are encroaching on "established heritage neighbourhoods". Just because a house is old doesn't automatically make it or the neighbourhood a heritage neighbourhood and this argument is always annoying to see. Most of the houses around this particular area are generic, post-WW2 era cookie cutter houses that exist all over the country/province, in every single city and small town. There is nothing special about them; half of them are falling apart.
Hopefully there are no height reductions. I'll be very disappointed if there are. Hopefully the city has the smarts to allow it as is. I don't know how many people on average generally write in support for these sort of things but I hope some have. I reached out to them weeks ago at a personal level but also prior to that since I worked on this. This only got 247 signatures, but that's still a considerable amount of people, even if most of them likely don't know what they're talking about, like Tony K suggesting we start building skyscrapers on empty farmland...huh?
