The Barrel Yards | 25 fl | U/C

[mpd618]

I think having the BarrelYards is good for the city, but the lack of vision by the city and the developer reflects Waterloo's lack of confidence at the time in itself as a place for urban investment. Same as the eagerness to sell out the Iron Horse Trail for the 144 Park / 155 Caroline bland mess, and the townhomes north of it.

I don't know if the city's attitude has changed yet, but I sure hope Waterloo gets the guts to say no to some proposals.
