Save our Neighbourhood. Stop Rezoning. No High Rise Tower.
- Target:
- Mayor Gregor Robertson; City of Vancouver Council;
- Region:
- Canada
As you may be aware, the owners of the property located at 1755 W. 14th Ave. have once again initiated a proposal to build a 12 story high-density tower at the corner of 14th and Burrard.
There was a previous application in January, 2014. Shortly after that, our neighbourhood mobilized to oppose this proposal, and upwards of 95% of the residents within 4 blocks, who were asked to sign a petition, did so. We submitted the petition to City Hall. We received no response at all until the new proposal came to light several weeks ago. The new proposal includes the same tower. In fact, the only thing significantly different about it is the removal of townhomes that had been proposed, towards the eastern end of the block. This allows the developer to say that the proposal is “lower density.”
We are opposed to this proposed tower. It is inappropriate to this neighbourhood, which consists mainly of residences and low rise apartment buildings. Parking is already at a premium, and traffic has been increasing dramatically on our streets.
We, the following residents and citizens of the City of Vancouver, hereby STRONGLY OPPOSE the proposed Rezoning Application (revised) - 1755 West 14th Avenue.
