Preserve Aldershot

1 year ago Featured

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 have added a facebook post on " Aldershot Village" please feel free to comment there and repost. We are on this toguether.

Traffic is insane. The layout of aldershot is being changed with no respect for the neighbours.

Please, enought with this tall buildings. Traffic and the layout of the city is terrible.

I personally do not want to have an exit coming from the buuildings to Birchwood Ave or Glenwood ,there is already too much congestions on the side streets once they move in we would barely be able to get into our driveways I do not support this proposal of 11 storey high

I live on Fairwood Place East, will join the meeting on the 14th

Too Tall, hence it adds to much density

Not sustainable

This development is all wrong. The units are not going to appease housing. Not affordable. There is currently way too much traffic on all streets; Plains Rd and Townsend have enough issues. Not to mention we can’t handle the current overflow if there’s an accident on the highway. We want to bike, walk etc in safety and preserve our way of life as we paid that price to live here. We’ve noticed a big change already with new developments in place already and ones currently under development which will make the traffic even worse. Keep the traffic off the side streets, figure out the infrastructure before building and the entrance and exits to the building from somewhere other then Birchwood and Glenwood. Thank you.

I do not support this proposal which will add 249 residences to the existing 3,504 units in various stages of development in the immediate area plus another 1,111 units further east on Plains Road in Aldershot. The developers and the city have not addressed how to manage the increase in local traffic south of Plains most of which do not have sidewalks. Where are the traffic mitigation measures to ensure the safety of pedestrians and children? Developers need to consider larger dwellings for families as opposed to Micro condos targeted to investors and shorter-term leases. The local infrastructure cannot continue to absorb this rate of development. There are not enough schools, healthcare or local grocery stores to support an additional 4,864 residential units in such a short period of time.

Traffic is already a nightmare on Plains Rd! What happened to the Aldershot Village feel???

No

We have seen a significant increase in congestion in Aldershot and the surrounding areas since moving here 20 years ago. People drive too fast in the neighbourhood and stop signs are ignored. It will get worse with more people. The City continues to turn the community over to developers who are not focused on quality of life for the residents. How do we compel the City to exercise restraint and still achieve the fiscal requirements?

As a local resident, I feel this development will negatively impact the community. It is too close to schools and the increased traffic could cause a safety hazard. The roads are already unable to handle traffic much of the time.

bad planning for this location. am certain all the high density developments planned in Aldershot will sit empty. insufficient parking so side streets will be dangerous for any persons, especially children to walk or bike. snowplowing will become a major problem on side streets. population will be far too large with Plains Rd not having enough lanes to keep traffic flowing. more chance of accidents trying to get on to Plains Rd as well.

This project is too large in an area so close to the school. Traffic will horrendous, plan with thought not with greed.

Congestion will be terrible around Glenview Public school. The side streets will be abused immensely (just like the pictures).

I strongly agree with the Community Feedback recommendations, it is totally on point. The entry/exit must be on Plains Rd. Safety for the children on these side streets must be a top priority. Thank you

11 floors on the south side of Plains Road will be an eyesore and not in line with the adjacent single family homes

Please help us keep our residential side streets safe for our residents
