Preserve Aldershot

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.

The area is already highly congested. There is no parking and most people walk their kids to school. This project will put additional strain on the area, it's residents and potentially negativity impact property prices.

In my opinion the ongoing condo development within Aldershot has gone too far. Traffic is horrendous now along Plains Road. Downtown Burlington is a disaster, too many high rise condos...... we no longer go downtown & prefer to go to restaurants in Aldershot (West End Bistro) and shop locally. Absolutely fed up with Marianne Meade Ward ..... won't be voting for her again......

Definitely need for the access to be changed to Plains Rd for less safety and impact on the established residents. Urban planners for the City of Burlington need to step up and do their job properly.

This has to be stopped. Too many children in the area on their way to school. Traffic will also be unsustainable

As a resident of Aldershot for 35 years, I am disappointed to see a proposal for an 11 story condo building. This does NOT fit into the landscape of what Aldershot is.

A big NO for this development.

I am a long-term resident of Aldershot, having lived here for over 20 years, and I am deeply concerned about the growing congestion and safety issues around the Glenwood Avenue area. The intersections near Glenwood, Townsend, Plains Road, and Birchwood have been heavily congested due to the two schools located in the vicinity. The combination of constant vehicle traffic, parked cars, children running, pedestrians, and scooters creates a chaotic and unsafe environment. It is almost miraculous that accidents do not occur daily. Introducing a new building, especially one with exits leading to Glenwood or Birchwood, would exacerbate these issues. Such a development would not only disrupt the neighborhood but also significantly increase the risk to everyone’s safety. This new building proposed would add to the already overwhelming traffic in this area. Prioritizing the safety and well-being of our community should be paramount.

An unnecessary blight. A better use: Return to farmland

We need to think of different ways of increasing housing and possibly the actual necessity of more housing. Currently Aldershot is has over 12 new condo buildings planned. This is a ridiculous number of new condo buildings in a small area primarily confined to one road- Plains road. Traffic, school space, go train parking and amenities are all at their limit. There needs to be a review of other location options within Burlington limits.

The building is way too hight and I don't think roads can handle the traffic. The city should sort transit issue first, before considering new developments I'm against this particular development. Other proposals were handled better.

While progress and the housing crisis put pressure on neighborhoods , research shows high rises and high density are unhealthy for communities. At the very LEAST honour the 6-story max guideline.

I oppose this application for new condos on plains road. Traffic is congested enough, we do not have enough resources,

Not supportive of this dense development as it will make the current situation worse.

Hell no!

Please stop to many people coming in. We live in a beautiful neighborhood and we pay thrle taxes and the house values for it. Don't ruin it.

traffic volume all over Burlington is already too high, as a result of other developments, and this project's density would only worsen the issue.

Against this development

The proposed building is much too large for the neighbourhood. I believe the original proposal posted was for a 6 story bldg. Too much unsafe traffic in a high pedestrian area.
