Sorry, I don't get this "middle of nowhere" argument at all.
It's on Innes Rd. Almost all the retail in Orleans (with the exception of Place d'Orleans) is located on Innes Rd. This site is a <10 minute walk from a grocery store.
Innes Rd has a frequent transit route with service 15 minutes or better all day. Innes Rd should be intensified and it is inevitable that it will be. Not all density needs to be on the LRT.
For all those complaining about traffic, where were those complaints when subdivision after subdivision was approved over the last number of years?
Could the design be tweaked? Maybe. But it seems like most of the visceral reaction to this stems from the fact that this is a development > 3 storeys tall.
