I just heard that another highrise apartment is being proposed for downtown Guelph. This one for 20 stories. I am appalled and genuinely upset to hear of this total lack of vision and sensitivity.
I live in a century old bungalow on Arthur Street north across from downtown. I have counted the stories for each of the buildings in the general area. None appear to be more than 12 stories. I find all of them ugly and distasteful. One of them, the one on cardigan street, blocks my chance for evening sun each summer night.
Please don’t let the developers ruin our beautiful quaint low rise downtown. Dont be the mayor that allows the creation of a concrete canyon. Please don’t ruin the view of the church of our lady from any new angle.
You can stop this rapid irresponsible development. Enforce the 5 story limits where they exist. Enforce and limit all other areas of potential development to the 10-12 that is the current maximum height.
Please show your leadership in this area. JB
