A couple of months ago I found out about the facility proposed for the site across the street from the Arbutus skytrain station under construction at Broadway and Arbutus. I live down the hill at York and Arbutus, and have no car, so walk in my neigbourhood frequently. The fact that in spite of a great deal of well-informed, negative feedback from many residents near this location, the project has been passed demonstrates to me that this city council does not care to listen to city residents with valid concerns. Ms. Hardwick was an exception during the so called hearing. So now the influx of people in this busy area will be compounded with high-maintenance residents right across from a school and a toddler's park; these spaces will now be covered in shadow a good deal of the time, as I imagine the Greenway will be also. Thes are just the obvious (negative) impacts.
