However, being that the new central hub is basically kitty-corner to this project, the cities view on height, I think the project should go ahead, as is, even if it means having the tallest building in the region.
We need to build along the corridor to make the LRT successful. Sorry about the NIMBY's. I get it, I do, But progress finally needs to be made in this city. And this SIXO might be our start to becoming a city that, not only is middle sized, but looking middle sized too.
Just my opinion.
Realistically, the only folks who could take issue with this are the 6 houses on that small stretch of Wellington - and ironically, they would actually be NIMFYs (Front Yard), not NIMBYs With that said, opposition to this site would be ridiculous - this is probably one of the most suitable spots in downtown for a tall building (especially if the tall buildings were located closer to the train track side of the site)
