Sheesh. It'd be nice if people lived with more optimism and gratefulness. So much of public feedback is just negativity and complaining. Not even thoughtful critique. I hope the city can keep pushing forward with TOD near stations. We can't let people next to stations blocks some of the best locations for density. It'll hurt the whole city long term.

I think any community near downtown will be a primary spot for growth. Bonnie Doon will also see strong growth.

So with the vast majority of people opposed, is this project dead? Or is there still a chance that it can proceed?

 

[IanO]

Likely to proceed is my bet.

Well when looking at this project it's not just a minor change to the community but a complete overhaul of the community. I do like how it looks but I can understand as well the opinions and some of the push back. In some ways I honestly think that the area surrounding Bonnie Doon would be best to be redeveloped as was the proposal made for Bonnie Doon mall.

But the proposal for Bonnie Doon Mall is still bound to happen. The whole area between Strathearn-Holyrood-Bonnie Doon will end up being one massive TOD, which is awesome.

Even with McKernan, many of the developments are 4-6 storeys. Century Park has the benefit of LRT and two arterial roads, I think roads like 85 Street and 95 Avenue could be packed, even with LRT.

Someone I know that lives in Strathearn Heights complex just informed me that the strip mall at 95 ave and 87 st received their 6 month notice today. (SE corner of proposed project.) Any one hear anything else on this?

 

[EtoV]

I've heard rumours that it is being replaced by another strip mall, but I have no idea how true that is.

 

[cliffapotamus]

the DC2 tower for the project is supposed to go where the strip mall is, right? they might be getting started on that.

That was my understanding. Wasn't able to find anything new on this, and my buddy is getting worried. Thank you for the replies folks.
