In this economy? seriously, I respect history but take some pics, even make a 3D scan tour of these places and lets move on. Stop putting up roadblocks to development and forward progress.
We go to great lengths to protect turtles but allow the destruction of human life in the womb of mothers usually abandoned by the man who impregnated them and face crisis pregnancies. In Canada this occurring over 100 thousand times per year. What an absolutely upside world we live in, God change our hearts!!
Behind on housing targets or do you mean behind on NEW HOSPiTAL TARGET? All these new people same old hospital. Time to put a stop to all this building new condos and houses until we get our infrastructure problems figured out something as to give here.
How is this a road block? These are homeowners who WANT to be designated and have no development plans? The only one with a development plan is 221 Arthur which was approved for demo. Heritage actually is what attracts people and keeps people in Guelph. When the city is nothing but cookiecutter row houses and apts, it's not Guelph anymore.
We cancelled district energy because in a rush to be “first” we built a system that didn’t work. Slow down, let the technology mature, let the economic justification build, and then adopt new applications that make both environmental and economic sense. Little old Guelph isn’t going to save the planet by wasting more taxpayer money.
I have no idea how they will manage the extra traffic on York due to this development. We already have gridlock several times a day close to Ethnic .. now they want to add an additional 3000 + vehicles in the area with this proposed development.
With over 4,000 units approved for construction and none being built.The city should be cancelling approvals after 18 months of no movement in getting approved units built NOT throwing more tax payer money at developers dragging their feet hoping for more profits.May I suggest the city request "Memorandum of Understanding for funding to build" as part of the approval process so we get developers who are willing to build rather than developers just looking to get approvals so they can sell the "approved development" without building.
Those who want it designated should have to pay for it themselves. The taxpayer and the current owner should not be saddled with any costs. Any future owner assumes the costs upon purchase
Maybe add a $25 or $50 environmental fee onto each vape sold to cover disposal. Maybe it would deter people from using them. I think the users of these things are deluding themselves into thinking that somehow vaping is better for them than actually smoking.
NIMBY is wrong because the community needs what it needs and NIMBY stops the community from building what it needs . Guelph trucks all the garbage two hours away while everyone complains how high their taxes are.
