Well 90th and 14th is going to be a mess because there is no way to design that area to deal with this influx of traffic. And frankly, Glenmore Landing is already a pain, and that doesn't improve with this proposal. Sure, they're going to try to make some changes, but those changes are already needed before the new residents.
Meh, I've attended these sessions and them "listening" is basically like paying lip service. They're not actually taking the opinions of people into account here, and they know nearly everyone is opposed to this. They don't want to hear the negative feedback and they are going to ram it through.
And as far as the "vibrant neighbourhood" portion, we have that. Our neighbouhood is fantastic, and we love it. It's not all single family homes and not all old people. That's not going to change because of this project, and that's not my opposition (or anyone I've heard).

Good, people are idiots and should not be listened to when it comes to improving cities. That is how we got this sprawling hellscape of a city in the first place. Glenmore landing has a BRT, Ring Road, and C train station all within a 5 to 10 minute drive. It is time to densify the area.
