Hoping she posts it on her YouTube channel, but I'm not getting my hopes up. She hasn't posted anything in 8 months, and only one video is actually from her time as an elected official.
But anyway, from what I gathered on Rail Fans Canada Discord:
- Brigil committing to 1:1 bicycle parking;
- 300 units more than zoning;
- 33% of units will be affordable, which is quite impressive (note affordable probably doesn't mean OCH level affordable);
- City did not like the podium design. According to Kevin from Discord "Apparently it was "not historically accurate" or something.
- Too much set-backs;
- City wants 40 storey tower on the corner;
- Brigil ready to reduce parking if zoning allows;
- Phase 1 rentals, phase 2 tbd;
Overall, the meeting went well. Apparently, Mary Huang (tomato garden person) was "vaguely praising it" according to Kevin on Discord.
Troster wants Kent complete street funding. She said something about wanting BRT on Bank (though City can't even get Baseline going, which has been shovel ready for a decade, so not getting my hopes up).
Troster apparently has issues with the height, but understands the link between height and amenities, height and affordable housing.
