Development of Aldershot and the subsequent condos will happen.
Intensification is the Official Provincial Plan.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many of you care about our neighborhood trees. If we can reach one hundred signers before the deadline, it will show the developers that our community is truly watching every move they make.

Redevelopment must have an appropriate transition in scale, intensity, height, massing and spacing between land uses and built forms. This proposal does not do that. Respect the existing neighborhood!
Building too high. Other developments in the area are far lower and fit in. 11 stories where 156 units are 1 bedrooms is not going to help with housing. Those are investor units and not suitable for a city where we already have far too many 1 bed units.
Plains Road is far too busy even without this proposed development. It is also the Emergency Detour Route when an accident occurs on highway 403 which seems to happen all too often adding to the traffic congestion. Just what we need on Plains Road, another condo building - yeah, right.
I agree with many concerns already voiced, and would like to add that the shadows large buildings create change conditions for pedestrians making it much colder. And parking access from quiet residential streets, so much for family friendly!
There is an elementary school one street over that has next to no parking for parents. Parents park on Glenwood and kids ride bikes to the school. It’s not “if” but “when” something will happen. This development needs to be people/ pedestrian friendly, and could be if developers listen to concerns.
Developers seem only driven by greed for profits, and present "proposals" that they know far exceed what is acceptable for the neighbourhood, only so that they can appear magnanimous in their pre-planned “capitulation” to the indignation of those affected. Has Kelvin Galbraith ever met a developer he didn’t concur with?
As a resident of the Aldershot neighbourhood for 45 years I have seen many changes. Many have happened under the term “progress”: some more questionable. I do not support the proposed project at 100 Plains Road as it has been presented. I acknowledge that the property falls within the 800 meter circle mandated by the province, which I question, but cannot be disputed in this current time. However, the issues at hand: pedestrian safety; impacting negatively on an already congested artery, Plains Road; the min-condo unit size which has already proven to be disastrous need to be addressed. I fully support Preserving Aldershot group’s mandate and will continue to work towards a resolution. We, collectively, will be heard.

I live on a street adjacent to Glenview P.S. and have concerns regarding this development's impact on road congestion, pedestrian safety, and shadowing of current residential areas. I strongly feel that new buildings in this area should be limited to the original zoning bylaw and be no higher than 6 floors.
