This is one of the reasons I've been pushing for constructive input and criticism. It's a fantastic opportunity to engage with and influence one of our city's developers in the direction that suits our interest, not only in terms of what is best for Ottawa overall but also as an outlet for us urban development enthusiasts to be heard and taken seriously. If Mr.Malhotra or others on the Claridge team do read this forum or have an interest in what we have to say about their new proposals, we have a chance to provide input in a way none of the NIMBY community associations can! As the "YIMBYs", we have a responsibility to be constructive in our approach to Ottawa's development and try to facilitate the improvement of new proposals. I'm glad that Claridge has shown some responsiveness to our remarks on SSP and is beginning to have an eye toward bringing better developments to the city (i.e, Icon, Tribeca, and attempting the same through this proposal). It's all rather fun to have this public outlet in the interest of bettering the city, isn't it?
