12-2 Council votes to support infill development in North Glenmore Park

And the saga concludes with a 12-2 vote in favour of a RC2 land use change in North Glenmore Park to allow semi detached homes to be built, formerly only single homes could be built on these two lots. This council is starting to show a significant majority in supporting infill development, in accordance with broad city policy to reduce the rate of expansion of the suburbs. Councillor Penner is the representative of this area, and mentioned she had heard the complaints and wished to work on traffic solutions. Because there were two lots here, on the second vote, the tally was slightly different. That means one Councillor changed his vote on the second lot, the two were identical??? None of the most vitriolic letter writers arrived to City Hall to speak against the land use change, and it sailed through quickly. The owner of these lots can safely proceed to design development.

Councillor Chu votes against most if not any infill project. Where does he get this mandate from?
