This is one problem I have with this city. They are very quick to approve these subdivisions and contribute to the "within city limit" sprawl because they have the excess land and want the tax money. The entire area around the proposed developments on Cliffe St and Two Nations Crossing is already clearcut, which is a practice I don't agree with. Piece by piece clearcutting has the same end result, but at least shows more of a commitment to due process, environmentally speaking.

The lack of park space is also a valid issue, considering Killarney Lake park is not walking distance to this subdivision. They're right about the high school being fenced and not intended as a public park, though the sports and leisure complex is nearby, but it shows poor vision of the municipal plan from a city that prides itself on it's "greenspaces" and the "smalltown feel".

Anyway, that's just imho.
