Traffic a concern despite excitement from Costco neighbours

So you bought a place directly across the street from the largest commercially zoned section of vacant land in Thunder Bay and when that area gets developed, that's a problem?

They go with a large number of units, you people complain about "potential traffic increases". They go with a smaller number of units, you people call it "bait and switch". They could go with six houses and you people would still make up some new reason to be offended. We need housing, period. This city has an enormous amount of green space in every single neighborhood. Let it go. There are much larger issues you could find offense over, find something actually worth rising up over.

Its not like its the first store ever built near a residential area. 90% of the shpping malls have been built in residential areas. Some people just like to complain.

We just can't have nice things! Unprintable what my first thoughts were.

Sad to see. Canadians are losing local shops because Liberals' policies drove up costs, turning this city and the rest of the country into the food inflation capital of the G7. With hidden taxes and reckless spending, families are paying more for food. Because so much money goes to the grocery bill, there is less left to spend at local stores. This forces hard-working businesses to close their doors.

At this rate it will no longer be Superior by Nature, just a Giant Heart of Concrete

Another luxury push from Terralux. Good for numbers, not so much for the affordable housing targets they're missing. Especially with the developer's backstory, it's a bit rich seeing all this high-end focus.

Thunder Bay needs to utilize urban infill first and foremost before destroying greenspace that would require water, sewer etc.

Where speed limits are 50 this city does 65. Where speed limits are 40 this city does 50. Where speed limits are 90 this city does 110. I get passed on the expressway while doing 106 everyday lol of we post the speed limit at 110 all of sudden everyone freaks out that the slow lane is only doing 110 and they start doing 125 or more. The highways they're increasing the speed on are much larger and better maintained than ours. We are not suited for a higher speed both in infrastructure and mentality.

They just made them taller and more overpowering! Removing most of the greenery and walking/biking paths etc . The prices for the existing homes will never recover if the bait and switch is allowed to proceed. Why are you not showing what the second rendition looked like instead of the Ist draft that was overwhelmingly a big no? The third draft is an overreach of height and a we the contractors do not care, what the community that will surround it has already said about the project.

Plenty of derelict city properties where this kind of thing would be better suited vs a more rural area displacing wildlife and cheapening there area.

More convenient sure, but we already have enough major accidents on 11/17 and more speed only increases the risk/severity of accidents while decreasing engine efficiency. Like stopping distance goes up around 15m. This is just more performative governing by Ford, we need real things like fixing the highways and hospitals staffed up.

Traffic could be a concern, however let's be courteous Thunderbay and everyone allow one vehicle to merge into traffic, or change lanes and traffic flow should be adequate

Yep, it’s gonna get real busy there! This is why the multiplex arena should have been built there! Let’s deem this a national security issue and push it through!

No it’s called Walmart and Amazon. If you can get it cheaper and delivered for less, why not?
