Those two key planning documents call for livability, sustainability, a range and mix of housing, pedestrian-friendly streets and a tree canopy.
But Nickels said that’s not happening along Victoria Street South, and she feels frozen out of key discussions about her neighbourhood’s future.
Well, she had me in the first half...
"Frozen out of key discussions about her neighbourhood's future"...
She's quoted in the fucking paper! She is in fact, the ONLY one in the discussion.
I will agree that Victoria isn't a liveable street, but her group isn't arguing for it to be a liveable street...she is arguing for it to be a museum, fixed in time, never to change.
The street needs a road diet, some bike lanes, and a whole lot of trees, but they aren't asking for that...and I will eat my hat if they didn't oppose that if it was proposed.
