Found some good news about the Graffiti project! Council has voted unanimously to approve the project, which I believe includes the variances that the developers made to accommodate residents. As per the article, the plan involves renovating the 3 heritage properties on site (which we already knew about), as well as a 5-storey new build at the rear of the property (which was the point of contention back in December), which will include 133 student-focused apartments. Some neighbours of this property complained that the current proposal "doesn't fit" on the narrow lot. Tbh, I think that's ridiculous because the property already has 3 buildings on it!
Also, the article talks more about the Lauzon Rd development we mentioned yesterday. They got some quotes from the residents, and some of them are
very strongly opposed to it still. For example: "If you did your homework before this meeting, there’s no way you could rationalize in good conscience a need to defile our neighbourhood with this blight". The same resident also called the condo project "despicable". I know we talked about it yesterday, but I was very surprised to hear people call this project "blight" that will "defile" the neighbourhood
I mean, the buildings are 3 stories and are geared towards seniors and retirees. Anyways, was just surprised to hear the comments
