Looks like a new proposal for Cunningham's Service at Sayward Rd and Hwy 17.  Development application with Saanich shows plans for a Chevron gas bar, A&W drive through, and a small additional retail component.

Haven't looked, but I wonder how this fits in with any current thinking regarding an interchange at Sayward Rd.

The preferred design of an interchange there as per the provincial study done a couple years ago would probably work fine without taking out either gas station.

That property has been an eyesore for years, glad there are plans to redevelop it. Although it's too bad Cunningham's never seemed to be profitable, with the Petro-Can across the street it was likely impossible for them to compete.

Anyone able to see what's happening in the upper Douglas/Blanshard area? I can see this massive yellow crane from where I'm at.

This is a nice looking project.

There are many established neighbourhoods in the CRD that would benefit from this sort of "gentle" density.

For sure. I doubt we'll see these starting below 600k for 1400 - 1500 sq ft.

Once in danger of closing, Canada’s Centre for Plant Health in North Saanich will get a new $80-million research and quarantine facility, Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay confirmed Tuesday.

The project, announced in the 2017 federal budget, is in the planning stages. Construction is slated to begin in 2020 and conclude in 2022.

“This is not a renovation,” MacAulay said. “This is a new facility that will be built from the ground up.”

It’s a significant reversal of fortune for the 106-year-old centre, which is the only facility in Canada where tree fruit and grapevines are quarantined and tested for viruses after being brought into the country.

The former Conservative government announced plans to close the facility in 2012, but backtracked a few months later in the face of stiff opposition.

Now, the Liberals are citing their investment in the centre as proof of their government’s commitment to science and the agri-food sector.

“In my opinion, this is simply how you have to do it,” MacAulay said. “I am a big supporter of science, research and innovation.”

He said the new facility will include laboratories, greenhouses and the latest technology to identify diseases more quickly and reduce the amount of time that plants spend in quarantine.

or could be to prevent a trump- or bannon-style leader like kellie leitch from getting anywhere. it's harder to complain about immigrants or "the elites" or whatever if a government is actually making these investments.

Dredging up a previous post about this project, the proposal for the development on North Dairy opposite Sears (RIP) is going back to council on Monday. The design has been revised to, among other things, go below grade for parking and to add more capacity. Same height (four floors), more units (62 vs 56).

 

1586, 1588, 1592 North Dairy Rd. and 3200 Wordsworth St.

 

 

Coun. Judy Brownoff said the project deserves a full public hearing because of the changes that the applicants had made to the earlier version of their proposal. It did not get past this stage in December 2017 after council had told the applicant to conduct additional community consultations.

 

Concerned residents had opposed the initial version on grounds of its height, massing and parking, and councillors once again heard several complaints about the height and the lack of parking. But the revised proposal did address one of the central concerns – the nature of parking, as well as other design elements.

 

While the initial application featured surface parking, the revised proposal includes underground parking. The ratio of parking spots per unit also rose, as did the number of stalls for bicycles and other types of vehicles, such as mopeds and motorized scooters. Staff and the applicants will also enter discussions about including a car-share service in the application to ameliorate public concerns about parking.

 

...

 

Citing various current and future public infrastructure, [Coun] Murdock said the location represents an ideal location for multi-family housing. “I don’t want to see this get hung up on the parking,” he said.

 

Coun. Colin Plant said this proposal highlights the tensions between larger planning goals, and local issues.

 

“This is the rubber hitting the road on the Shelbourne Valley Action Plan versus local neighbourhoods, because the Shelbourne Valley Action Plan calls exactly for this,” he said. “It even suggests four storeys.”
