Also while I expect some NIMBYism, I think it’s pretty easy to dismiss most objections as pure NIMBYism in this particular case. The neighbours are a rail yard and a light industrial building. Then across the (big busy) street there are townhouses. Zero traffic impact on neighbourhood streets, and as you say right on top of an LRT station. So my guess is there won’t be a huge amount of opposition, and what there is will be truly absurd (except for shadow impacts — I can’t dismiss the entire category of shadow impact concerns as truly absurd).
Of course, absurdity isn’t an anti-requisite for having the ear of Council, but we’ll see.
