This correspondence was intended to be presented to Council in reference to the Tax Increment Grant proposal for 148-152 MacDonnell St. I’m DS and I am speaking this evening on behalf of the Guelph Civic League, as its president, regarding the request for a Tax Increment-Based Grant related to the proposed development at 148-152 Macdonell […]
Good Day! I am writing to say I don’t want any highrises in Dowtown Guelph. Lots of people move to Guelph to get away from the GTA and don’t want to see too many highrises like in Brampton – Mississauga – Toronto. Guelph has a nice quaint small town feel and please keep it that […]
Can I express my outrage and general disapproval of the proposed 148-152 MacDonnell development proposal. Where is the City in terms of quality of life, quality of development and moving forward in best interest of its citizens? Most assuredly I agree with concerns being brought forward by mindful citizens around 1) non-conformity with existing planning […]
Writing again to ask that council, please, reconsider allowing 18 storey developments in downtown Guelph. The former day care site on Macdonell is zoned for SIX storeys. High rises are the profitable way for developers to build things, but I don’t believe it will profit the health of the downtown or our community. Again, please […]
Just wanted to provide an initial update on the St. Patrick’s Day Festivities. Our operational plan last approximately 20 hours (Sat 8am to Sun 4am). The morning started slowly thanks to the cooler temperatures and fog although picked up considerably as the day continued. Scottsdale, Ironwood, Kortright Rd W, Steffler, Whispering Ridge, Harts Lane, Reid […]
If we are going to be eventually getting these 18 story apartment buildings downtown why not barter with these developers? They could be asked to be putting in a couple additional underground floors for parking that would free up the East park-ade of the restricted permit parking during the day time. With the possibility of […]
Dig-In Downtown, is returning early this year as a decidedly tasty event that’s twice as nice as in years past. March 12th until the 21st, the Downtown Guelph Business Association is offering a culinary adventure for the whole family in Week One, and then celebrating the return of prix-fixe menus in Week Two. Since autumn 2006, […]
I have some concerns about the proposed development on the corner of Macdonnell and Wellington Streets. While I think most Guelphites are supportive of increased density in the city, the proposal for 18 storeys goes beyond the point where increased density would be of benefit to the downtown and the community. I think 18 stories […]
Congratuations on a great project ( Market Square) I walk by there often, and at night and got a little intimidated before with crackheads and drunks etc.as it was kinda desolate at night – now even late at night see young people skating, and families etc enjoying themselves. Great to see young people outside rather […]
Hello. I have just finished reading the letter to the editor and community in the Guelph Tribune, written by Ms. Gray. She expresses concern re the proposed building in downtown Guelph of several high rise condos, near the former Woods Plant, Co-operators, and Marsh Tire. As I type this note, I am able to gaze […]
