HAPPY UPDATE about the February 22, 2021 Council meeting.
Council QUASHED Minto's proposal to relocate the KEDRON PART II PLAN COMMUNITY PARK!
Since Sept 30 2019, time and time again only, Councillors Neal, Jane Hurst and I were repeatedly saying NO do not relocate it.
Finally today, with the final vote on this matter we had a majority...a Big Thank You goes out to Councillors Derek Giberson, John Gray and Brian Nicholson for seeing and saying it clearly, that staying the course was the most realistic plan. The votes they gave added to the base to lock-up the 6 votes needed for a majority of the 11 Council votes. Logical thinking prevailed,
Sharing some stats to indicate how massive the Kedron Part 2 Development Plan will be! So of course it will need a Super-Sized Community Park IN THE COMMUNITY, NOT BY ITSELF WHERE PEDESTRIANS WOULD HAVE TO WALK ACROSS A BUSY ARTERIAL ROAD.
11 developers
11 plans of subdivision;
8 schools;
2 neighbourhood parks (4.5 acre size),
12 parkettes (1.5 acre size)
approaching 9,000 residential dwelling units with:
2,894 detached houses;
1,084 street townhouses;
100 semis;
112 back-to-back towns;
2,448 block towns;
2,098 apartments incl. stacked towns
22,507 commercial sq.ft.
AND A SUPER-SIZED COMMUNITY PARK WHERE IT SHOULD BE LOCATED!
The picture below taken last summer is looking west in the direction of the future Community Park site
