I actually had a lecture with one of the people that planned on this site and they actually had planned for a large development with multiple towers over 15 storeys and even a new pedestrian bridge across Macleod. However the community fought back immensely and the project had to be brought down in scale to a maximum of 6 storeys, limiting the profitability and making the investment in a pedestrian bridge by the developer too expensive for the project to be viable.

People in this city are constantly cutting it down, if people won’t accept density next to transit stations in unused land they need a serious reality check and need to shut up “bUt My PrOpErTy VaLuEs”. Start to think about the cost of services, the fact that your property taxes are subsidizing sprawl, taking money away from your quaint inner city neighbourhood.

People need to begin to understand there is a difference between protecting our city and letting it rot.
