Residents told Saanich council they don’t want a seven-storey, 104-unit building at the corner of McKenzie Avenue and Rainbow Street
Dozens of Swan Lake-area residents lined up in Saanich council chambers Monday night to rail against another large development proposed for the neighbourhood.
Neighbouring residents raised concerns about traffic, pedestrian safety, parking and loss of significant numbers of trees if the condo project is allowed to replace three single-family homes at 801, 811 and 821 McKenzie Ave. One resident called the proposed condo development an “extreme example” of building homes for profit, not affordability, “with complete disregard for this environment.”
Murdock said he appreciates the frustration of area residents, who are having to deal with a “lot of proposed change at one time.”
