This park space at Glenmore Landing could one day be the site of some of the new buildings being planned.
Several dozen Calgarians addressed city council on Tuesday during a public hearing focused on the contentious land-use change surrounding the Glenmore Landing shopping area.This green space near the Glenmore Landing retail plaza at 14th Street and 90th Avenue S.W. could one day be the site of residential towers. City council heard from several dozen Calgarians on Tuesday during a public hearing focused on the contentious land-use change surrounding the Glenmore Landing shopping centre.
The land is immediately south and east of the Glenmore Landing shopping plaza, running parallel to 14th Street and 90th Avenue S.W. "Building six towers in an affluent neighbourhood will not be affordable housing, so the claim that these apartment buildings will be helping with Calgary's housing crisis … that's not going to hold water," said longtime resident of the Bayview community, Tracy Cherniawsky.
However, proponents of the plan cited the development's proximity to transit and other amenities, as well as Calgary's need for more housing amid a growing population. Chipeur noted the building code hasn't required townhouses and single-family homes to be built in an accessible way.
