Re the Downtown Guelph Secondary Plan, I am very much in favour of the idea of creating unbroken green space along the Speed River.
However, I am very much against high-rise buildings in the downtown area. I think the tallest building should be no more than 12 stories, even in low areas.
But the emphasis should be on human-scale buildings of 6 stories or less. There is more than enough space downtown to get the desired density without resorting to 18-story high-rise buildings that will destroy the character of our unique downtown. DS
