A fiery debate did not dissuade council from approving the controversial 25-storey, 219-unit development at 735 Wonderland Rd N with a vote of 12-2.
Councillors voted 12-2 Tuesday afternoon to approve the 219-unit development at 735 Wonderland Rd. N. proposed by York Developments.
The area is designated as a “transit village,” a remnant of the original bus rapid transit plan shelved by council in 2019. The designation lifts some restrictions on height and density to help support alternative modes of transportation. “Further to that, I believe that if the councillors want staff to produce a report on filter permeability for traffic mitigation, that should come through a motion at Civic works specifically,” Lewis said.
“The fact that you have an EMS station and back of this and they weren’t even consulted, really speaks to some of the problems that we’ve got,” Trosow said. “We are sticking our heads in the proverbial sand by narrowing our focus to just this application.”Ward 12 Coun. Elizabeth Peloza called a point of personal privilege at the remark, saying she’s done her “due diligence” and read the report. A second was called by Ward 11 Coun. Skylar Franke when Trosow didn’t retract his statement.
“You cannot do what you just did and that is look at someone across the room and say , we will do things through the chair,” Morgan said.
