The first part of this development has an official plan (
HERE). Its for parcel 2 (out of twelve) located between Kerney Lake Rd, Kearney Run, Hwy 102, and Highway 113. Its going in front of North-West Community Council on October 23 and if approved construction is expected to start either this fall or in the spring. Here are some highlights;
-20% parkland,
-commercial/high density residential on KL Rd (Kearney Lake Rd),
-townhouses and single family houses in back,
-new school near the Bi-Hi,
-a four storey condo building fronting onto the Bi-Hi
-Two condo buildings (six and nine stories) on KL,
-Sidewalks and a bike trail for the main road (called the loop road),
-and a few smaller condo builings edging the Hwy 113 ROW.
Construction is expected to take six years to finish.
As a side note the proposed Larry Uteck/102 Interchange is suppose to be built next year.
Between this Southgate Village, Ravines, Royale Hemlock, Waterfront Phase II and the Dockside, Bedford is positioned for a boom next year. If all the houses in this development have a Bedford address the town will literally double in size (17'000 to 34'000).
