BURLINGTON, ON
Was it a fence, a sign or a hoarding?
Nothing but posts in the ground – will there be new signs or will it be a fence?
It took the legal department a few days to determine which it was – doesn’t matter now – it is no more.
The signs – and they were signs, promoting the ADI Development planned for the intersection of Martha Street and Lakeshore Road was taken down after the city advised the company that they were signs which also happened to exceed the allowable size.
The lot is where the ADI Development group want to build a 26 story structure.
The ADI development group has arm wrestled with the city at almost – and we do say almost – every point of contact.
The sign that broke the rules – gone – but for how long?
The relatively new to Burlington development company has completed just the one project – the Modern on Guelph Line, which is a very attractive building.
The Linx on Dundas and Sutton is a significantly different design on a site that overlooks Bronte Creek.
The project they have planned in Aldershot, described as Masonry Court but to be marketed as Station West is still at the discussion with the planning department stage.
The city released a document that suggests there has been some progress with the project.
The manner in which this file is being managed by the mayor is a complete embarrassment to this city.
Good. One less distraction that promotes a lifestyle that most cannot afford. Hopefully the development plan goes the same route.
Probably a coincidence but last week on 2 evenings there was a drone hovering over the site. On the 2nd evening a much larger drone, seemed to be almost the size a small car, met up with the first over the site then flew off over the lake.
