Just as an FYI. Newspaper articles never capture the whole story. Yes that was one concern. The biggest concer was an increase in traffic and a back up of vehicles waiting to make right turns. As I said. I watched the entire discusioon and listened to all the representatives or delegates.
It was the council members which I was most disappointed in. Again. It was an opportunity to grandstand when they fully know it will go to the OMB and most likely their decision will be overturned for good reason. This is why it is important for them to make defendable decisions irrespective of how they feel. It is called being a leader. If your not prepared to do that. Don't run for council. That's all I am saying. I am completely open to the concerns of the neighbors but unfortunately the end result will not be in their favour. And now, rightfully so, the additional money the developer pays for the OMB hearing will take away from what could have been improvements to the development in good faith. Oh well.
