Does anyone know when the Canadian tire reno's are to be done? As well are they going to be adding a bigger section to Party City that is in the Charlottetown Store now?

Also, has anyone heard of anything else taking place at Royalty Crossing other than the new make-up store and the pool/tennis courts to come down?

RECOMMENDATION:
Planning & Heritage Department encourages Planning Board to recommend to Council to advance the rezoning request for 1B Palmers Lane to public consultation.

Yep, I WAS RIGHT!! Opposition against this project is well underway.
It's not the adequate addition to the Parkdale area. Too high, too much traffic.....everything actually.

One said, "Looking at our neighbourhood , this will be completely out of character for our residential area. The increased height of this building, as well as the increased number of units, certainly will bring more people, increased traffic, noise, waste watch containers on the street, etc. Is this the picture the City wants for the Palmers Lane , Parkdale area?"

Maybe they would rather the ugly units that are presently there to remain! The developer has met all the requirements and wrote a very clear and precise detail on how this will not impact the neighbourhood. Even going to make sure the building height wasn't more than double the present building so it will not overshadow the neighbourhood!
The same old excuses to kill development. Enough is enough!

I see the new 12 unit at 50 Belvedere Ave is underway. I haven't seen any renderings of this. There wasn't any opposition to this I can find.
It appears the folks on the eastern side of town seem to believe that they live in some kind of Nirvana and oppose everything. Not so on the west side. When they replaced the old Charlotte Court on North River Rd there was nothing said against its present replacement. Not a word!!
Nice to see this underway!

Charlottetown residents concerned new Hidden Valley subdivision may cause traffic congestion

CBC NEWS PEI



Some Charlottetown residents worry a new subdivision planned for their neighbourhood may lead to traffic congestion in the area.

"There's going to be triple the number of cars coming through here in the morning ... It's dangerous. It's going to be horrendous. There's going to be a crash. And I don't want to be the one to turn around and say, I told you so."

Because the land was already zoned for housing, the city did not have to approve the project and residents were not notified about the development.

We need housing now! Why tie this up?! The traffic is bad everywhere. The same old excuses and complaints that tried to kill Sherwood Crossing and other developments. Did they think that this land was going to stay this way? Dumb as stumps they are!! I can see an IRAC appeall!!!

Traffic in Charlottetown is busy here/there it is not bad. Has anyone ever driven in Hallifax/Toronto/Boston at 4pm. My finance and I drove from Summerside to Charlottetown to the mall yesterday at 4:30 to 5 pm. There were cars around but we drove the speed limit or more the whole way and it did not take us 3 cycles or anything to get through any lights. i have been on North River Road and it can get lined up for a while, but the few times I have driven on that road at rush hour the line moves. I have rarely been at a stand still and for a minute/two at most not 10 or 15. Another lane is needed on a road or two , but for space reasons this is not always possible

Compared to 10/ 15 years ago there is many more cars, however, to me it is manageable most of the time. Tourists/construction may impact numbers in the summer, however, if you live in a large city most people would be happy to have Charlottetown's traffic headaches.

Would IRAC even hear an appeal to a development that meets the current zoning requirements? The only argument I would make is it would be nice to have access to route 2. Perhaps this can be rectified by adding a traffic light by the petro-can.

I doubt that IRAC will. The verbiage on Twitter from the locals, it looks like they have something better than the rest of us in this city and we shouldn't disturb their Utopia. Anything to stop a good development that would benefit this city.

Does anyone know what is going into the building that used to be Mike's Restaurant out by the mall? As I see it has a sign on it saying leased.

Wasn’t there supposed to be an Eastside Mario’s and a Wendy’s open in the mall parking lot. I wonder if the Mikes building could be used for Eastside. I’m not positive but I believe it was part of the mall property.
