My kid went and spoke, we live in the neighborhood and he's studying urban planning. Good experience for him, I'm proud he went and was one of the few voices in favour.
Yeah of course it’s going through. The city got 2700 comments and 6 were in favour, but who cares what residents think?

I don’t agree with the “parkland” angle of this, because it’s disingenuous. But the concerns about infrastructure and congestion at that corner are completely true. And I don’t know if it was your son on the news last night saying it “ticks all the boxes for TOD”, but I laughed at that. There’s a bus station, for a route that goes basically nowhere. It’s laughably poor planning.
