They missed the positive and went straight to the negatives (increased traffic in the area and on those streets, so they will try to argue it down, like they're planning with 1040 Somerset.
The thing is, Katherine Hobbs talked about how Kitchissippi has about 11,000 people, but 42,000 jobs. Mass transit is important, but too many use their cars to come into the area (and those that live). I think having more condos/ residential units will be crucial for easing traffic and getting more people walking, biking and commuting view public transit. Yet those in the neighbourhood don't see it that way, and only want lowrise townhomes all over.
