Submissions from the floor:

Peter Mitchell, 6271 Nanika Crescent, expressed concern with the lack of parkland and amenities in the neighbourhood. He commented on the growth and density in the area and cited concern with the uncertainty of when amenities would be available to residents.  Also, Mr. Mitchell remarked that the area is in need of an elementary school, so that residents may walk to the school without crossing an arterial road; he then noted that this would support the City’s efforts in encouraging less reliance on vehicles.   

In reply to a query from Council, Wayne Craig, Director, Development, advised that the proposed development will provide shared outdoor amenities space for residents on site. He then remarked that there are major parks planned within Lansdowne Village and Aberdeen Village, noting that the parkland on the Lansdowne site is across the street from the subject site. Mr. Craig noted that the City has been actively procuring land to fulfill the Middle Arm Waterfront Park Vision Plan and advised that pre-planning of the waterfront will begin in 2022 with construction to follow soon after.
