CKCO/CTV demo is complete

What bugs me is the (once again) no parkland dedication. This neighbourhood (KW hospital) is one of the worst in kw for parkland per person, with pretty much no public parks.
Kitchener considers it "critical" to acquire more parkland in the neighbourhood (KW Hospital, King East, Downtown, and Civic Centre are the critical neighbourhoods) and yet they seem fine with Vive adding all these people and 0 parkland. I imagine it'll be a cash-in-lieu dedication that will end up in some sports complex in doon or some crap.
Kids will play in the cemetery I guess, won't be any problems with that I'm sure.
All the parks are minimum 10-12 minute walk from the site. If they have so much land here in such a prominent location, the city should really be forcing them to add something.
