VERBAL COMMENTS
1. Ms. Josephine Martensson-Hemsted spoke on behalf of her father Mr. Gerald Van Amelsvoort of 2057 Lockhart Road. Ms. Martensson-Hemsted noted that she was impressed with presentation. She advised of her concerns related to the traffic on Lockhart Road, especially in front of 2057 as it is at the bottom of a steep hill. Ms. Martensson-Hemsted commented that there have been many close calls for accidents in the area. She indicated that this situation may worsen due to the increase in traffic density. She stated that she would like Council and Planning staff to look at this aspect closer. Ms. Martensson-Hemsted questioned whether on-street parking would be permitted along the narrower roads associated with the high density proposed for the north east part of development identified in the presentation concerning the first two applications. She expressed concerns to the reduced road width related to parking and snow removal and questioned if on-street parking would be permitted.
Members of General Committee asked a number of questions of the applicant’s representatives and City staff and received responses.
