RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - pmsilva - 05-05-2016 Grading has now commenced on the multi use property at Fairway and Lackner. With a new school, shops and residential living that intersection is going to be a worse nightmare than it already is. RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - MidTowner - 05-05-2016 I'm not sure that's "Urban" Kitchener. How much retail and residential is going in there? [Moved. ~Markster] RE: General Suburban Updates and Rumours - panamaniac - 05-05-2016 Yeah, what's planned for the site?

Anyone know a Starbucks franchisee that would like to build *one* north of King?

Here is a proposed site plan for that corner. It will be pretty dense with Residential, commercial and institutional. RE: General Suburban Updates and Rumours - timio - 05-06-2016 When's the roundabout going in?

Builder is Grandview (built Lackner and Ottawa St. building). Lots of equipment on site the last couple of days. This one's getting started. RE: General Suburban Updates and Rumours - Spokes - 05-06-2016 Did the school get approved finally? I know there was a TON of debate on that one.

A question - "What's up with all the parking along Fairway Rd", and an observation - "Wow, some of those townhouses are close to the school, are they intended to be freehold or rentals?" RE: General Suburban Updates and Rumours - Coke6pk - 05-09-2016 I've noticed the last few weeks temporary traffic lights and hydro poles going in along Ottawa St N from Lackner over to River... Any idea whats going on?

I believe Ottawa St is being widened.

Thanks pmsilva Maybe I should read those notice boards the Region posts along the roads... LOL Coke RE: General Suburban Updates and Rumours - rangersfan - 05-09-2016 Has anyone heard whether St. Patrick's School in Kitchener has been sold? It's looking very dilapidated. http://kitchener.ctvnews.ca/mobile/school-for-sale-bidding-open-on-former-st-patrick-site-1.2036316 RE: General Suburban Updates and Rumours - The85 - 05-09-2016 (05-05-2016, 03:07 PM)Coke6pk Wrote:(05-05-2016, 12:29 PM)panamaniac Wrote: Yeah, what's planned for the site? All Starbucks are corporately owned. They do not franchise. On another note, I'm GLAD there's plans for a roundabout at Fairway and Lackner. That has to be one of the worst timed lights in the whole Region. While Fairway is significantly busier than Lackner, the green on Fairway is so short (maybe 15 seconds?) and is red on Fairway most of the times I go through that intersection. It actually creates quite the backup on Fairway WB at 5 pm. RE: General Suburban Updates and Rumours - rangersfan - 05-16-2016 May 15, 2016 A couple of buildings under construction on Fairway Rd |
