Letter received October 29, 2020 from J. Adams, Re: Proposed Development - 9 Erskine Lane
Letter from Joanne Adams in support of the Westurban plans, citing benefits like green space, playground, and road widening.
Mayor and council
Thank you for listening and taking the time to visit the site at 9 Erskine Lane on October 5 & 6 to see what Westurban has put together after listening to you and the residents around the area. I can only see a development company that wants to please everyone but that is totally impossible but they have put the most important needs and concerns in their plans when they develop 9 Erskine Lane.
Some of the best things to come out of when the development is complete will be a safe and well maintained community with lots of green space, park/playground sidewalks and widening of Erskine Lane which is much needed right now. The CRD walkway will have lighting of some type which is much needed as it is dark and scary walking it alone at night never mind the uneven ground to roll your ankle.
The size of the development is within View Royals OCP and is needed for the shortage of housing and offers affordable housing, and a variety to accommodate income and family size. It is within walking distance to transportation, galloping goose trail and will help reduce vehicle traffic. They are also thinking green by EV charging stations and leaving many of the trees by rearranging the buildings and underground parking.
Once again no one likes change but as a family we have seen more than enough and it has given everyone at 14 Erskine Lane and Stone Ridge a place to call home. We now have a hospital, shopping, coffee shops, gym, school and much more including easy access to the well-developed highways as the Mackenzie work is now complete.
I’m totally in favour of Westurban plans and how they will develop 9 Erskine Lane to make this the most outstanding development within the community of View Royal.
Thank you Joanne Adams 9 Erskine Lane
