Frederick (197 Frederick St) | 10 fl | proposed

It'll be other people like me with kids that go to Suddaby that will object. I think this area is perfect for redevelopment and have a soft spot for flatirons buildings, but it's the process of getting to the finished stage I don't love. I'll admit to this purely being personal though. I live in King East and work downtown and I'm getting burnt out with the construction. I don't expect it to stop just for me and I do look forward to the improvements to my neighbourhood.

So I guess you're not against the development you just don't like the idea of potential dump trucks causing delays while dropping your kids off? From the render it seems like there is a large section close to the school that is surface parking which would probably be the staging area. And fredrick street which is 4 lanes at that location would be the only street effected. I will admit they seem pretty naive to think construction start 2020 and finished by 2021.

I come from the other direction when I walk my kid to school, so there really shouldn't be any disruptions that way (although, it may make it a challenge once I have to start taking grt to get to work). My concern is if the school will be able to have it's windows open without it causing noise issues in the class. The second floor of Suddaby gets very warm and in the warmer months it's actually hotter in the school than outside at times. They need to be able to have the windows open. Like I admitted to, personal reason but I wouldn't oppose redevelopment over it. I can also see some residents of Central Frederick not liking the idea of a taller and newer looking building being there as well. Many of them like the older look of the neighbourhood. 

Wasn't there opposition to the building of Tim Horton's and insisting it was built to fit into the neighbourhood? I didn't live in the area then, so I don't know how it ended up looking so much different than every other Tim Horton's in KW. Was that a neighbourhood or city opposition?
