Residents are organizing to stop an oversized highrise that would overwhelm local infrastructure and change the character of the street.
Why residents object
See every issueSix reasons this proposal does not fit the street
The current proposal creates avoidable harm for neighbours, families, and public services. These are the concerns residents raise most often.
Traffic congestion
More units mean more delivery vehicles, drop-offs, and daily trips on a street that already has pressure points.
Read moreChild safety risks
Higher vehicle volume and tighter sightlines create new risks for children walking, biking, or crossing near the site.
Read moreProperty value decline
Oversized development can reduce appeal for existing homes by changing light, privacy, noise, and streetscape quality.
Read moreInfrastructure strain
Water, waste, transit, parking, and emergency access all need to absorb more demand than the block was designed for.

The proposed scale disrupts the established rhythm of the street and increases direct overlook into nearby homes.

What you can do
See every actionTake one concrete step today
A small number of clear actions is more effective than a long list. Pick one, complete it, and help keep momentum visible.
Write a letter to the city councillor
A concise message from a resident or supporter helps show that concern is organized and specific.
Sign the petition
Petition signatures create a visible signal that concern extends beyond a few vocal neighbours.
Attend the public consultation
Showing up in person or online makes it harder for decision-makers to treat the proposal as uncontested.
Volunteer
A few hours of practical help can unlock more outreach than one organizer can manage alone.
