Purpose: The purpose of proposed Bylaw No. 7473, 2011 is to provide long-term heritage protection to the façades of the Holbrook Block and the Trapp Block, to formalize the heritage conservation plans for each façade, and to include provisions respecting the phasing and timing of actions required by the agreement and other terms and conditions that may be agreed on by the local government and the owner.
By Grant Granger NEWSLEADER
City council has narrowly given the go-ahead to a controversial Downtown highrise despite vociferous opposition from residents of a nearby building. More than 20 opponents lined up to speak at a public hearing into a proposal for a 21-storey building at 125 Columbia St., on Monday. Most live in an adjacent highrise at 31 Elliot St., and they told council there wouldn’t be enough room for parking and traffic in the area, as well as for construction vehicles to safely maneuver. Despite their complaints, council voted by a 4-3 margin to

examples of places where the city did not require developers to provide adequate parking. “Today they’re completely packed with parked cars. If even one person in Victoria Hill decides to have a party where are they going to park?” While disappointed at the outcome, Barb Keating, a vocal opponent who lives at 31 Elliot, had mixed feelings about the public hearing. “Part of me is feeling good that some people heard what we had to say,” said Keating. “It’s a zoo already, so what’s it going to be like with a new building and a new school (St. Mary’s) behind us? We want to be able to get around here.” She vowed to keep up the fight. She said TransLink outlined a lot of hoops the developer and the city still have to jump through. Keating also said she and other opponents will become involved in the upcoming fall civic election campaign. “We’re going to be very persistent,” Keating said. “We will watch to make sure all the regulations are adhered to and it’s not just talk.”
