Preserve Aldershot

I live on LaSalle Park Road and the traffic is absolutely terrible. I can't imagine how much worse traffic would be with additional high density housing builds.

The density intended by this project with the proximity to existing single family residential is not suited for this property.

Traffic on Plains Road will increase

Safety is of most importance

The Aldershot I have lived in my whole life is gone. We lost our grocery store, LCBO, beer store, Canadian Tire and a department store as well as several restaurants years ago. Aldershot residents must drive to all of the above amenities and we have been asking for them back for many years ! This new development is intensification in the wrong place. Our infrastructure has not changed in the last many years and it doesn't look like it is going to any time soon! The traffic is ridiculous, especially when the 403/QEW are in gridlock. Cars are clogging up our residential streets for hours with noise and fumes so residents are unable to enjoy daily living. Our children who walk to our local schools, Glenview and Aldershot will no longer feel safe doing so. Aldershot is a great community but the bureaucrats are ruining it! Where are these people going to park when there are not even enough parking spaces per condo? Does the City government, Kelvin Galbraith, think these new residents are going to take transit?! Not likely. You are destroying our community with your money hungry decisions.

The building proposed is way too large and too tall for the community, and would impact the traffic patterns negatively, increasing cause for concern for pedestrian safety. This is the tip of the iceberg for concerns.

What the block heads are running our building department. Permits being handed out like Halloween candy

It’s out of control and needs to be stopped. Our infrastructure can’t withstand all this growth and development

Once again we are dealing with more development that is only going to make our traffic problems greater on Plains road and surrounding areas.Instead of allowing small houses to be torn down and being replaced by monster houses with two or three people living in them, we should build semi detached homes or fourplexes.

I have owned & lived in Aldershot for 22 years, my husband was born here & attended both El & Hi schools affected by this ridiculous development, not the first one. He continues to live here, 71 yrs. It is time to listen to residents not wanna be politicians who cannot communicate with constituents. Stop the continual amendments to the OP and bylaws to suit each developer. This development should be denied as proposed and we will support your proposed plan to protect children and in addition force the city to assess the impact of all traffic in the Aldershot community. Plains Rd is already a nightmare thanks to ineffective current Ward 1 and Mayor. BTW my husband asks…what are they smoking.

Studio and one bedroom units will make up almost 2/3rds of this development. The province needs to build homes, not shoe boxes. What has happened to the concept of Aldershot Village? I get it that we need to do our bit for increased housing but an 11 story condo is incompatible with the area. Also very concerned with the increase in traffic and safety for kids going to the two primary and one high school in the neighbourhood. Let's have some reasonable judgment here.

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!

I firmly oppose any building exceeding 8 storey, Plains Road is already very dangerous for the large number of students in the area.

It is time to prevent big business from spoiling our neighborhoods.

Who is behind "Preserve Aldershot" and why aren't their names included with all this information?

Aldershot “VILLAGE”

My backyard boarders this development. Depreciating my home, loosing privacy...impossible traffic scenarios. Breaks my heart Aldershot decided to ram as many people into a tight area with no investment into infrastructure roads or ammenities. Crime has increased in the aldershot area with no presence or plan to take action. Low income rentals and increased population on an already boardering Hamilton neighborhood.

Enough is enough! There is plenty of spare land elsewhere to build these highrises.

This proposal is an abomination. We can’t allow this to be built. Meed Ward and her cronies are destroying Burlington.

Many towns don't have a 'heritage committee' working with Town Planning. Huntsville is an example of not being prepared
