Holy cow — Holyrood: Bypass road helps drive new potential, new growth

The municipal boundaries of Holyrood actually cover quite a large area, going far south of the TCH. If it has enough suitable land it could contain a very large population. New highways tend to spur on much more sprawling growth, so Holyrood, being close enough for commuters in search of a more rural atmosphere and cheaper land, could see a large amount of growth in the future. http://www.thetelegram.com/News/Loca...-in-Holyrood/1 |
That is insane sprawl.

The driving distance is about a half hour, so it is close enough for commuting, but it's not part of the metro area. |

I've always considered Holyrood to be the cut off for what I would consider the St. John's area. I believe there's a large enough population base that commutes back and forth to the city each day for work. It's a nice neighbourhood community, but the endless sprawl is bound to catch up to it, just like it's taken over CBS. A highway extension in the area could help potential traffic problems that could arise if this were to happen.

Even areas in western Conception Bay (CBN) experience a better economy than the rest of the island from the spinoff.
BTW This shows the CMA. I guess if Holyrood had enough commuter traffic it would be included in the future. http://www.pbase.com/image/143169368.jpg http://www23.statcan.gc.ca:81/imdb-b..._T9_V2-eng.htm |
I have a summer/weekend place in Harbour Main. The coastline from Holyrood to Cupids remains pretty quiet, as commuters/shoppers from CBN use Veterans Hwy and TCH. Amazing how much busier and developed the western extreme of CBS (all the way to Holyrood) has gotten in recent years. I sure hope the sprawl ends right there!

Opposition Grows to CBS Strip Club Quote:
Ok this is a bit silly... if you don't want children to go to the strip club then don't let them in hahahaha this is foolishness, if you don't want to go into the particular establishment then noone is forcing you to. |

There are also a lot of children in downtown St. John's on any given day, let there are strip clubs, bars, and crude posters everywhere. It's a part of life. Not like a child will be able to stumble accidentally in to one of these places accidentally.

Edit: I originally said 13 but it's 14 if you count Holyrood. Either way, pretty crazy. |

Look at people in Mount Pearl when you point out that they should be amalgamated. That's one of my personal pet peeves. Work in St. John's, eat in St. John's, party in St. John's, drive in St. John's, but heaven forbid you pay taxes in line with the people of St. John's. That being said, any time the idea of St. John's taking up responsibility for infrastructure in some of the smaller communities, the city gets up in arms too. As I said, its not about what makes sense, its about how loud the opposition is. The system may be inefficient, but its also the status quo, and no one is willing to step on toes in order to change it. |
