If this development takes…

If this development takes place, a very unique green space , right in the middle of our city will be gone forever. Trees , that have taken a lifetime to grow, will be lost. This will deprive birds of nesting space and will destroy the area that several species of animals inhabit, leaving them no place to go.
The flood plain in this area will also be effected and will cause difficulties for residents that live nearby.
This area is already densely populated and the additional 90 units ( plus high rise building) in phase 1 and potential 138 units in phase 2, will overwhelm the already over burdened local infrastructure.
The city of Burlington has met its commitment to the province for affordable housing units. This development is not affordable housing.
In summary, this development defies logic and more importantly common sense.
Approval of phase 2 just compounds the error made in approving phase 1.
