Seems to me that for that many residential units, were lacking in Office space. And considering the limited amount of room we have left for growth in the CBD, it seems these developers should consider a whole lot more office space than currently planned.



On another note, Trinity's proposing a Central Library at LeBreton and a branch over the Trillium Line, near an existing branch. How many Libraries do we need again?

We are way overloaded with condo/apartment proposals. And it's not just friendly competition (as with the few thousand units in Little Italy); the full 8,400 units proposed for the area are being developed by the same people (Windmill has Zibi, Trinity has 900 Albert and both are working together on Rendez-Vous).Seems to me that for that many residential units, were lacking in Office space.

How many Libraries do we need again?There really is no reason not to do it, as long as Trinity keeps enough room under the building for a double tracked, electrified system.
