[Kanata] 2 The Parkway | 23m | 7 fl | Completed
http://app01.ottawa.ca/postingplans/...appId=__8U46KB
An application to rezone lands from I1A - Minor Institutional to Residential High Density to permit a 16-storey high-rise building with residential underground parking and at-grade visitor parking. Architect: Barry J. Hobin & Associates |
I'd personally APPROVE the proposal. (At first, I would have put it ON HOLD but seeing the land makeup, approval is warranted).
While most of the area is R2-level (low density) residential, there is precedence for higher density areas directly on Teron. It would also give more impetus to put the Kanata North Transitway directly on that corridor. If it was on the other side of The Parkway, I would have rejected it for NIMBY concerns. |
Good.
Looks like an improved/redesigned version of Claridge's Lebreton Flats project. |
Any idea when this project will be moving forward?

From the second of those two articles, I found this 'gem': Quote:

Howell, the director of heritage preservation for the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association (KBCA). I think I've heard everything now if there is a heritage preservation director for Beaverbrook. |
Maybe they can turn this monstrosity into a subdivision of normal 2-storey monster homes and build them in a forest or wetland somewhere. Problem solved, forever.
No wait! They don't like that! I suppose, to follow their questionable line of metaphorical thinking, the Beaver Pond fiasco was Beaverbrook's Holocaust. |
Sorry, I'm just dumbfounded over this. There are some great 1980s-era houses pretty similar in Orleans and Kanata, too. They won't have to go far to find another 'unique' neighbourhood, and they wouldn't have search their memories for references to tall things that go boom in protest, either.

This is quite typical in Beaverbrook....the link you gave is also very common especially along Teron. |
"“It’s over half the height of the Statue of Liberty,” said John Donelly. (The Statue of Liberty is around 107 metres from the ground to the torch; the proposed 16-storey highrise is 49 metres)."
Fun with statistics! I'll add my own: it's 49,000 times as high as a sheet of paper is thick! A 9/11 reference here is beyond the pale offensive. No words. |
9/11 9/11 9/11

:stunned: Statue of Liberty is 93m ground to torch btw http://www.nps.gov/stli/historycultu...statistics.htm, I think it's a typo in the article |

If the statement that there are only 5 communities in the world like Kanata, we can rest easy that most of the world has rejected the insanity of Kanata's planning.
|
With all the 9/11 references, they should call this the Rudy Giuliani Tower.
|
The word 'hysteria' comes to mind...
I think a really big Valium needs to be dropped in the Beaverbrook water supply before the freak-out gets worse. I can see these people telling their grandkids: "No, I wasn't in 9/11, but..." |
The comments to this community group's objections are amazing! Hats off to y;all! :cheers:
