Councillors face epic meeting
Contentious projects await appeal committee
Tue Nov 14 2006
. . .
The four-star, $25-million hotel is believed to be the first of its kind in Canada on a hospital campus. It was unveiled at a splashy press conference in July.
But West Alexander residents, especially those on Elgin Avenue, say the hotel will dominate the neighbourhood, cast a shadow on nearby homes and increase traffic, noise and possibly drunken troublemakers. They've appealed a series of zoning tweaks the hotel requires before construction begins next spring.
. . .
HEALTH SCIENCE CENTRE PARKADE AND HOTEL
The proposal: The Winnipeg Regional Health Authority wants to build a six-storey parkade able to hold 1,100 cars near HSC. The parkade would replace some vacant lots, three surface parking lots and several homes now located west of Tecumseh Street at Notre Dame Avenue.
Meanwhile, HSC has partnered with Canad Inns to build a 19-storey hotel on William Avenue.
The problem: Residents of West Alexander are bucking both projects, saying they're too big for the neighbourhood and will cause traffic jams. The process: Residents have appealed council's approval of both projects. Thursday's meeting represents one of their last-ditch attempts to stall the construction.
