1065 Speedsville Road | 4fl | Proposed - bravado - 03-02-2023 Quote:A development application from a Burlington-based company is proposing to build a four-storey mixed-use residential complex at the corner of Speedsville Road and Equestrian Way that would add 465 units to the city's housing stock. Site Design https://www.cambridgetoday.ca/local-news/developer-proposing-465-unit-apartment-on-speedsville-road-6639010 This is a fundamentally boring part of town near the 401, but I'm very pleased to see real apartments + retail coming to a new suburb that is currently devoid of any amenities. 535 parking spots is way too much but whatever. RE: 1065 Speedsville Road | 4fl | Proposed - SF22 - 03-03-2023 Every time I see floor layouts, I look for the bike storage and then try to trace the route to actually exit the building. This one looks particularly horrendous. It's not anywhere close to an elevator or any door that goes directly outside. Best I can tell, you'd have to walk it through the parking garage and either bike up the ramp or wrangle it through another set of doors to the elevator that's not anywhere nearby. It feels like the bike storage is there to say "we did it" as opposed to a thoughtful design that people could easily use on a daily basis. |
