We have many opportunities around town with vacant delinquent buildings or empty lots. Leave this area protected!

Allowing a stacked townhouse development at 160 Blenheim is greedy and irresponsible. This land was previously designated a natural open space system which is used to identify, protect, and manage environmentally significant areas. Galt has many vacant properties whose development needs to be incentivized over the continued loss of natural and environmentally significant space.

Our region is already stressed for water resources. We cannot afford to strain it more.

I enjoy walking this trail daily with my on-leash dog. There is so many different species living in this area. Such a beautiful trail to enjoy!

I live on Devils Creek and walk the trails regularly. The community is very concerned about the effect. This development will have on nesting birds, water, disruption of wildlife. There are so many empty lots, areas in the city core, which have been undeveloped for Housing which are close to services and transportation, etc. This natural space although sold by the city to the private developer is more than just an empty lot. Please stop development and reconsider the impact creek and the river.

We need to preserve the little wildlife we have left. Devil's creek is used by so many people in the community. Let it grow!!!

I use this trail several times a week. It is full of biodiversity. Removing habitats along the Devils creek watershed will no doubt be harmful to the many species that call it home.

we are running out of good land and farm land. Builders need to be creative and repurpose existing lots and go UP not out

I feel we should do all that we can to avoid encroachment on nature spaces. Especially seeing vacant lots in the cambridge area. A lot of developers might disagree but Nature is important, in fact it's is crucial!

Beautuful area that shouldn't be lost to homes. People move in and then complain about the train. Leave it be.

Once lost, such beautiful spaces are lost forever, especially upsetting when the wetlands there are important for regional water supplies. There are other, less environmentally sensitive areas where this development could be located.

We use this trail daily and cannot fathom it being paved over. There are many other viable areas in Cambridge to be developed. Including all the current vacant lots in the neighbouring subdivision.

Because tired of the City tearing up all the natural beauty we once had for houses. Where are all the animals going they are all being displaced. This is pathetic let's preserve nature. Waterloo Region looks disgusting born and raised here not what it used to be with all these ugly rat houses. Furthermore isn't is bad enough you allowed AMAZON? All in the name of money but yet my taxes and everything keep increasing.

Devil's creek watershed supplies Cambridge with good, natural water. We can't keep desimating our water sources for the sake of large housing developments. We already have water supply issues in Kitchener. Eliminating a sourse in Cambridge makes no sense

There is so much at risk for a mere 30 houses.
