This is not a typical development site. The proximity of the site to Artspace above and 93 Street below, the uniquely limited access to the site, as well as the site itself - a small, odd-shaped lot on a hillside - introduces challenges that are not typical of most development sites.
Some of the major issues are:
- Obstructed vehicle access at the top of the hill, especially for DATS and emergency vehicles, which is already challenging
- No accommodation for parking is provided for the building in an area where parking is already a significant issue
- Digging and drilling impacts on surrounding structures
- Construction staging impacts at and below the site on Rowland Road
- Access constraints for waste collection
- Artspace residents with health issues are especially vulnerable to noise, increased traffic, and obstructed access for vehicles and pedestrians
- Clearing of treed slope impacts wildlife and natural ecosystems
These are only some of the issues! View the full list
