Six-Sixty Belmont | 13 fl | Proposed

[cherrypark]

Listening in on the delegation last night, though it was a parade of opposition, I was pleased to see representation from a few pro- voices including:

- A local downsizing resident who spoke of a retrospective disappointment of having been in the converted farmland suburbia for so many years and appreciating the ability to downsize while keeping in the walkable, urban community they now live in.
- Miovision CEO Curtis McBride who, conflicts of interest in owning Catalyst137 aside, spoke well of the new employment class working steps away and the 1200 staff in that development patronizing Belmont Village.
- Delegate from Menno Homes talking about the potential impact of a cash donation vs. affordable unit carve outs within the development.

Also appreciated the councillors who posed a few not that tough but still revealing questions of some of the most vociferous anti- delegates about what "development, but not this" should look like. Including a few that revealed they don't even live in the surrounding wards.

And hearty wtf to the guy who lives on Rock Ave and "sometimes drives to park on Belmont Ln to go to Tim Hortons".
