The city is backed into a corner here due to the already approved zoning. Nice to see for once.

LRTfan that is a very interesting idea and one I and I'm sure many here would 100% back very vocally if even there was the remotest possibility! This density downtown where we already have the infrastructure in place to support it makes perfect sense if the city were willing to cut a deal.
It makes ZERO sense to put this development in the current proposed spot but like Hawrylyshyn said I hope it get's built simply out of spite if it can't happen downtown!
