Cutten Fields shares concerns about proposed student housing
32We need to build housing. It's interesting that the "prevailing wisdom" is that it's fine to build on land that poor families use as a public park but we draw the line at casting shade on land fenced off for a rich man's private game.

Two additional GO train stops in Guelph begin April 27
30Good. Now can we please please please have a departure time from Union heading to Guelph ANY time between 6:15pm and 9:30pm?? That's a huge block of time that leaves Guelphites stranded in Toronto.

20I do agree I think 10 stories id to tall for that location.

Ontario PC lead has shrunk, poll shows
18It is beyond comprehension that so many voters would still vote PC despite the constant malfeasance and chicanery Ford commits. Not to mention the fact that he 100% does not even attempt to act in the best interests of all Ontarians.

16I am flummoxed. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. My eyes would not allow my brain to take in the author's narrative. I am sorry but I cannot get past the grotesque image of this architectural and visual blight on the adjacent neighbourhood. I am confounded as to the absence of a single comment regarding the appearance projected by this rendering, Well I guess as they say beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder. NIMBY please. This building is ugly. Looks like a 3 year old drew a tall rectangular box then sprinkled it with CHEX cereal.

11I don't agree with plopping a 10 storey building in the middle of a golf course. Surely, there is land that would be more suitable for this project... especially when they will be knocking down 3 family homes to build it, one of which was built by my Grandfather in 1943, a typical war time build. Our family spent 40 years there and many a family gathering with the associated memories.

23Ok great but why is there still no train from Union to Guelph /kitchener between 6:20pm and 9:35pm Monday to Friday. This is 3:15hr period that is core travel time with no trains. Despite being after rush hour, it is an impossible time of day to be on the 401 or Gardner. All they have to do is run one or two of the trains that already run to Brampton a little further.

13The traffic now is horrendous. A ten story building will just be chaos.

15"... and in close proximity to transit,” Nigel said. NOT!Their is one bus route within 90 metres of the site, BUT the nearest bus stop is over 400 metres from the site.Have the developers offered to pay for and requested a route change to be in close proximity?

15I understand that it is a private developer. I outlined what the University short term housing plans to show that there are plans without the private sector. There is already a private multi story student new build that is west of Edinburgh that was initially approved as public housing before being switched to student only by the developer. So there is even more availability without this ten storey monster near the Cutten Club.

'Do we care about affordable housing or not?': City council wrestles with development rules
10The market determines affordability, we need more housing more than we need affordable housing. The more choices people have the less they are forced to settle for high prices

Blind Arthur woman hit by truck focuses on donations in memory of dog guide
15Although it says she will get a replacement service dog in due time I feel the driver should make a donation equivalent to the cost of the service dog including training which is 35K. And anyone who thinks it was the dog's fault is sooo wrong.

15So 95% of the new housing built will be unaffordable? That's the plan?

Man on e-bike spotted collecting copper wire on Lake Road in Puslinch

9This was an ag college that was converted to a university by professors like my Dad's step sister's husband in the mid 60's... frankly I liked it better the way it was.
