Does anyone know what happened to that small collection of duplexes on Rumble between Sussex and Patterson. Next to seniors housing/deaf school

Are those "cottages" gone?

I just did some googling, looks like there are building 145 units of affordable senior rentals.

Why don't you explain what your point was instead of making two vague posts in a row?

Sorry for the trouble, but why don't you stick to telling yourself what to do. This discussion is too confused, too unfocused, and so just another bit of static within the forum. I rarely choose to participate in a discussion which has too many misinformed but strongly held opinions. If that troubles you, I apologize for the headache.

Why does everything in this forum always have to devolve into fisticuffs and handbags?

(or at least it seems that way).

Take it easy, guys.
Its summer; get outside; take in some sunshine; get your favourite drink with some friends and enjoy the company of family (.....or not).

Sorry to reign in here, but every time I visit this forum I see you are always posting fluff about how everyone is posting static and, apparently, too unintelligent for you. You just come across as a person with a superiority complex who uses this contrived, supercilious attitude while posting run on sentences about the few topics you do know something about....

Ouch! That smarts. "Don't take my style away." To you I could be anyone or anything. It's hard to have a complex when one is a fiction . . . which I am - when I am not obviously being serious about a real topic.

Since its the fashion, I will counter-punch: 1) love youse well crafted hits, and 2) you be a delicate wall-flower?

Regarding Sussex Metrotown: it's a good location for an expressively more aggressive tower.

[Pinion]

I don't even know what the issue is - it's completely one sided.

Apparently I need to look at the Burnaby Major Development Projects more often.

Brentwood:
REZ # 17-14, Initial Report 2017 May 29
2421 Alpha Avenue
Construction of a high-rise residential tower with live/work units fronting Alaska Street

REZ # 17-15, Initial Report 2017 May 29
5258/5334 Lougheed Hwy & 2160/2210 Springer Ave
Establish a Conceptual Master Plan for the subject site and a detailed Phase I development plan for a high-rise residential apartment building with townhouse units in the southwest portion of the site

Edmonds:
REZ # 14-25, 26, 27, 28
REZ # 15-25
REZ # 16-08, 10
REZ # 17-07, 15
That is all Southgate, from the master plan, to a low rise non-market building, to multiple towers with either a low rise or townhouses. One of them says "42-storey residential tower with a 6-storey podium"

I like it how Burnaby allows such tall buildings to be built right beside SFHs. The SFH people don't protest like those in Van or North Van do.

Oh they complain - it's just that they're pointed at the (decidedly not new) OCP. There was a woman who lived on the other side of Kingsway who complained about the height of the Station Square towers. She made it into the local papers but beyond that I don't think she achieved anything.

They might allow tall buildings *near* to the single family zone, but they are decidedly against allowing anything other than single family *in* the single family zones, regardless of transit proximity. They then claim that the tenants thrown out of Metrotown are the victims of inevitable market forces over which they have no control.

That's a separate issue - the lack of rental buildings being constructed. Vin was talking about people complaining about tall buildings being built in their neighbourhoods.

Burnaby is updating its transportation plan to supersede the previous 1995 plan.

Among the proposed goals:

• provide people with multi-modal access
• provide access and choice for people of all ages, abilities, socio-economic
  levels, and backgrounds
• reduce deaths, injuries, and conflicts for all modes
• increase the mode-split of active transportation modes (walking, cycling, and transit)
• increase the use of more sustainable transportation modes including walking, cycling, transit, car-share, low- or zero-emission vehicles
• reduce the distances driven by providing local options
• increase the efficiency of finite road space
• increase the integration of land use and transportation planning
• increase north-south connectivity

Then I have to give credit to the City of Burnaby for disregarding people who have nothing to contribute but forever against development.
