Apparently opponents to the Skipper Jack's expansion proposal have found their golden bullet - Wood Turtles...........
They are likely living within the current ditch which masquerades as Rabbit Brook. They are apparently an endangered species in NB.
The Skipper Jack's project has already been rejected by the city planning office, and by the PAC, but is coming up before city council today for a final decision. Apparently turtle loving protesters are going to be massing in city hall plaza to vent their opinions. Their chants will likely be audible indoors in city council chambers.
I predict that no matter the merit of the Skipper Jack proposal, that it is now as dead as a doornail..............

Turtles or not, can they not put parking in anywhere that isn't a wetland? Good lord. Paving over urban streams is something we should be UNdoing, and I'm no greeny.
