The record article about the proposed development:
https://www.therecord.com/news-story/947...ener-site/
Goes into a fair bit of detail, this is a very promising urban development. A mixed use development within walking distance of an LRT station. Includes about 2,800 dwellings for an estimated 5,200 people and 750 jobs. Still including 3,200 parking spaces, which seems like a lot for only 2,800 homes. I should like to see the jobs and home parking largely shared. The plan is for a large parking garage in the back, which could be shared, and putting all the cars some distance from homes would result in a disincentive to drive. Also, quite low on park space, well below the required, which you know, could improve if some of the parking and roads were switched to parking.
