146 Downey Development

I am writing you to voice my concern over the proposed development at 146 Downey. In this case, to take an established neighbourhood and stick a five level condo building in the middle of it is just not a logical idea. Proximity to a creek, lack of parking, less than conforming setbacks all add to the incompatibility of this project with the existing community. I know it’s all about pushing density in wherever possible but this site does not have the dimensions to accomodate this many units without compromising the surrounding residents. The main feature of our community is the creek, greenspace and trails. If they build this, the main visible feature will be the dominant (as it sits on the highest ground), out of place high density development that protrudes into the greenspace. Please consider the negatives of this proposal before you vote. CR
