BURLINGTON, ON
The downtown core intensification is ongoing.
The land at the western end of the football appears to have become a holding site for re-bar that will be used to construct the Beaysejour site right across the street. now being readied for construction.
Construction of the Beausejour at the intersection of Pearle and Lakeshore on the north east corner is now above grade. It will rise to 29 storeys and have the historically significant building moved back into the tower when it is closer to completion.
The re-bar sits in the Trinity Point site on the south side of Lakeshore Road – to be used in the construction of Beausejour on the north side of the road. How will the move that re-bar to the north side?
The Beausejour is now above grade and the ADI Nautique is closer to being complete. The mess that will exist at the bottom of Elizabeth is another story.
Meanwhile Emmas Back Porch sits behind a barrier fence.
These developments will only add to traffic – how will it be managed? Those questions didn’t get asked when the development applications were before city council.
Just one block to the south Emmas Back Porch stands behind a barrier fence. What was once the hottest spot in town with a great view of the lake sits empty on Old Lakeshore Road.
Develop badly needed housing, but don’t add to suburban sprawl, but also don’t bother anyone with noise or shutting down traffic, and make sure the people that live in this new housing don’t have cars to add to the traffic. Oh and also the buildings can’t block any sun and no trees should be cut down. And the units should be affordable and built quickly to address the housing criss.
