We need lowrises and greenspace, this resident says.
Following up on Mr. Dale Price's letter of concern regarding the proliferation of condo highrises in the downtown, Brentwood area.
The immediate proposed dense increase in the West Brentwood area; adjacent to Lougheed and Gilmore, of 12 more highrises is ludicrous. Already thousands of new units are coming on line with little chance of being sold. An example being at the intersection of Gilmore and Lougheed of hundreds of new units hanging over the sidewalk, with increasing uncontrolled noise, and pollution of airspace by density and traffic.
Consideration would be better given to low-rise development of existing older, and some vacated properties; with more services and community resources; with more adequate, open greenspace, to serve all residents.
