Item No. 17 – McLennan South Sub-Area Road Implementation Strategy Update

Alysa Locke, representing her parents, the owners of 7671 Bridge Street, questioned why the matter was now being considered by Council prior to further review by the public, as had been promised at the May 19^th, 2005 Planning Committee meeting.  She reviewed the four proposed road redevelopment options, and voiced concern that the options being considered were not those preferred by area residents.  Ms. Locke then reviewed a new option which suggested an east/west configuration connecting Bridge Street to Ash Street.  A copy of this proposed option is on file in the City Clerk’s Office.

Mr. Amar Sandhu, of Sandhill Development Ltd., 8671 Cambie Road, spoke about the redevelopment of 7511 Bridge Street, the high cost of providing servicing of the backlands of the properties along Bridge Street and the feasibility of applying the costs to future developers of the backlands as a means of providing compensation to Mr. Sandhu.  He also expressed his frustration about the length of time taken to process his application. 

Mr. Stephen Nordin, 7491 Bridge Street, voiced his frustration as a resident of the area at the many meetings which had been held to deal with among other things, the myriad of road options which had been proposed over the past few months.
