Luciana,
Our family is opposed to the above proposals, as this development will cause the following impacts to local owners and residents:
-The proposed height of the two 6-story towers is about 2x the local average of 3-story townhomes and is completely out of character with the neighbouring townhome complexes. These two 6-storey towers will severely erode the look and feel of our neighbourhood and will infringe on several surrounding townhome complexes.
-There will be insufficient buffer and transition between these proposed developments and current townhome complexes, creating concerns around noise and pollution.
-The proposed density is about 5x the local townhome average of 16 units per acre.
-Using the Canadian average of 1.5 vehicles per household, this represents an influx of about 900 additional local vehicles, not including the traffic related to the development’s commercial and office use. This area already suffers from heavy traffic congestion and lack of street-parking. Firetrucks have difficulties navigating 156th at it is presently.
-Using the Canadian average of 2.9 people per household, this represents an influx of over 1,700 additional residents with significant new pressure on local schools that are already actively consuming playground areas in order to add more “portables” to meet demand. This is on top of a current lack of infrastructure in South Surrey to adequately meet resident requirements in terms of hospitals, first responders, and utilities.
-If these two developments are permitted to go ahead as proposed, they will fundamentally alter the character of the family neighbourhood and potentially lower local property values. The proposal of a mixed-use development will turn our residential area into a commercial zone. This is completely out-of-step with this area, especially given the current commercial and retail available along the southern portion of Croydon and lining several kilometres of 24th and 160th.

I am very concerned about this new development. It poses a significant change to the area. The development will have too many residential units causing an increase to the already overburdened infrastructure if the area. Sunnyside elementary school us already significantly over crowded, Croydon road is incredibly busy. 599 new residential units will bring more cars to the roads and more kids to the school.

I oppose these two developments out of concern for my kids schooling and safety. The over crowding of Sunnyside school has been an issue for the past 5 years, even becoming newsworthy. After portables and cutting the outdoor space by half, only now is an expansion planned.

I oppose this building proposal! This part of Croydon is not equipped for this size of development! The road is narrow, there’s no sidewalks, the 4 way stop can barely handle the traffic now. The local school is already overcrowded and has multiple portables. There just is no infrastructure to support another development of this size

Opposed to the new development!
Area is already congested and Sunnyside School is at capacity. We do not have the infrastructure to accommodate more.

This is as absurd as the last proposal. City planners need to sit at the 4-way stop at 28 & Croydon, as well as as 32 & Croydon lights at 8-9AM & 3-6 PM.

There has to be a balance of green space and buildings. There is not enough parking as is. How about putting something like a school or a community center or better yet a nice park

This is certainly not what we envisioned when we bought here 3 months ago. I hope this petition will gather the required amount of signatures.
No.. just no..
