Is it possible for someone on WRC to create a map of Waterloo Region showing new, proposed or under construction building projects? If it was interactive that would be great. And if that's not possible on WRC then a link to the map would be just as good. It would be nice if all the building projects were represented by a dot and a mouse rollover would bring up a render of the project and perhaps a link to a thread on WRC.

A bit curious how that map is Kitchener-only. Even as a Kitchener resident, Waterloo Region-wide is far more interesting and relevant to me.

It's also odd that the map is clustered around the downtown cores. While I realize that that is where most of the development is occurring, it misses projects such as the senior's apartments at Ira Needles/Erb in Waterloo which is definitely above the 35 m lower limit or the University Gates project at Fisher-Hallman and Laurelwood.

Don't forget, this is a site that wanted to call Preston and Hespeler "suburban".

I don't think Waterloo Region is easily understood by people who haven't actually lived here for awhile and as far as I know, there are very few people on SSP from this area.
