I am not opposed to growth but I am wondering if planners consider parking and foot traffic? I appreciate the new traffic lights; however, I prefer NOT to drive through the Fort due to all types of traffic.
This development is totally at odds with the concept and character of Fort Langley, it sets a very bad precedent for further development
This is not at all a development suited for Fort Langley. The high density shows nothing but greed. Take a look at Bedford which is more medium density and more suited for the area. It reminds me more of the disaster being allowed at 208 in Willowby.
What was once 8 homes goes to 45!
There’s just not enough onsite parking! We all know that the double garages will only have one car max parked inside, so there will be 45 more cars on the streets!
I only count 7 visitor stalls all near the front entrance – I’d say not enough!
There’s no room in the complex for additional parking – can’t fit /park your 2nd car in front of your unit!
They need an underground parkade – like next door at the museum.
The buildings are very ‘boxy’ not much heritage character to them.
Looks like only 9′-0 main floor ceilings and 8′-0 upstairs
I thought this area was a ‘heritage’ area?? Why are we letting them alter that designation?
This is a city led project – hopefully they downsize it!
I expected more for such an idyllic & special location.
45 units seems a lot for the area and I am sure people living in the area will object this. It will be an interesting discussion……G
Without seeing colour drawings in detail, my first reaction is that the townhouses are not attractive. They seem to be very basic townhouses that can be found jammed together throughout Willoughby. There seems to be no thought that they are being built in a historical conservation area. I also wonder if they will be built for the future with solar panels and green roofs, etc. Lovely large trees covered that site previously. Will large trees replace the ones removed?
What is the cost for these townhouses ?
What is the size of them, including bedrooms ?
Will there be an elevator?
