Didn't make sense for them or the city administrators to be so staunchly anti-heritage, either. But they were.Didn't really make sense for city hall to be strong proponents of one particular stance given their roles as elected officials.
If $500 million worth of highrise towers were being built on the Janion site, the Northern Junk site, and the "consolidated green space" site in Vic West then I might put some credence in the "evil developers destroyed the bridge" theory. But large developments like that just ain't happening. A very small proposal for the Northern Junk site has proven to be an uphill battle. A whole lotta nuthin' will be happening on that "consolidated green space".
So to summarize, we're talking about a major public-sector project consisting of a new bridge, re-aligned roads, and a new intersection, and on the fringes we've got a grand total of zero significant private-sector projects. And we're still speculating that evil developers might have been behind this?

- exact approval permit has not yet been determined, site not expected to be rezoned
- current plans are for "Micro-lofts," 265 - 350 sq. ft. Are typical sizes of such units
- Transport Canada lands will have to be redeveloped to support heritage restoration of Janion
- land to the south of Janion expected to be part of bike trail, developer will work with city in that regard
- too premature to say what exterior changes to Janion are planned

...current plans are for "Micro-lofts,"; 265 - 350 sq. ft. are typical sizes of such units...
Egads that is small! At the lower end that is the equivalent of a 16' X 16' room. As a somewhat seasoned cruise ship passenger I can assure you that is smaller than the average cabin size on most ships on which I have sailed. To put that in perspective those cabins are quite a bit smaller than most standard hotel rooms. People would actually pay market prices and live full-time in such miniscule spaces? I have around 900 square feet in my condo and I wouldn't want to live in a place barely 1/3 that size. Chacun son gout I suppose.

If I had height to allow for some type of storage, I could live in that size.

I can't see this project making money on its own. Surely there is an addition planned or some density-transfer like with the hudson?

That said if I owned there I would be ecstatic to see these lands developed even if it did get rid of my view because the view right now is not always that good...
