In regards to the Eastgate development..

I for one find it difficult to understand what's happening behind closed doors. Staff and the mayor are dead set against any development North of the TCH on Elmwood. This is bizarre to me, as the developments proposed are quite a distance from the municipal boundary.

I get they want density before more sprawl. I personally would prefer to live NOT in city centre, but be a 6 min drive from same.

Fix the problems plaguing the core, before you insist all development be in the core.

The City allowed Granite Drive to happen, North of the TCH.. The Province moved a high school there. The City put a fire station north of the highway..

Elmwood Drive was upgraded to the high-school. Are you telling me they rebuilt the sewer and all, ONLY to accommodate current builds?

Whose fault is that then?

Short sightedness is a funny thing, especially when you've got oodles of "master plans" kicking around..

Don't even get me started on this new pivot for Vision Lands. Insist on development here but when it falls through, insist it be a federal park?! So we can't build in the literal centre of the city.. and we can't build where all these new businesses are going..

Make up your mind, or hire planners who can actually plan shit.
