Re-do the whole thing
Dear Editor:
RE: Builder sees beautiful infill project; neighbours see tree removal, high density, ‘parking Armageddon,’ Feb. 5.
People on the way to the Elora Municipal Cemetery graveyard need calm and coolness on their journey. Burying someone is stressful enough without having to deal with heat, sun and sunburns from looking for a parking spot near the grave, carrying the coffin and the sadness involved with the day. Oh look, trees are decimated, the land is overheated and there is not enough parking.
The article says this development has 25 units and 10 visitor parking spots.
How are parking spots allotted? That is half a visitor parking spot for 20 units, if each unit has a visitor. What are the other five units to do? Where are visitors to park? One spot looks like it is for handicap. What if you have more visitors? What about the traffic at David Street and Wellington Road 7? That street was horrendous in October during Monster Month, just imagine adding at least 24 cars.
Why are we building such dense, crowded homes? Why do we need to overrun the area with crowds?
The whole proposal needs to be re-done.
Lucy Dyment,
Fergus
