I really don't think that the proposed height along King St is extreme, this is the central district of a growing city.
And what’s this about destroying the “historic streetscape”? Along King, half of the site is currently the parking lot, and half is the front of the post office, which immediately before it closed had a single public entrance and no windows worth mentioning.
I think the heritage advocate should encourage Council to decide now which buildings on King are to be preserved, so that in the future it’s clear that a developer cannot, for example, buy up the block south of Erb and knock it all down. But they should grant that this particular proposal isn’t destroying anything that needs special protection.
I totally agree. I don't know why the heritage advocate is fighting such a silly battle when there are bigger fish to fry. The site itself has no heritage features and is begging for redevelopment. People like this give heritage preservation a bad name.
