RioCan, the owner of Glenmore Landing, has applied to The City for a permit to redevelop Glenmore Landing. The application would see land that is currently area zoned as parkland become residential and commercial properties.

The plan calls for:

• Six high-density housing towers, up to 115 metres or 34 to 36 stories high

• Increased pedestrian centric commercial development

• 15 years of construction – no timeline beyond phase 1 on 90 Avenue

• 1,248 residential units for approximately 2,744 residents

• Only one underground parking spot per residential unit

• The existing central parking to be eliminated/replaced with minimal surface short-term spots

• 300 anticipated additional employees

• Using only the current entrance and exit points, this will create:

o Increased traffic delays and accidents

o A substantial increase in on-street parking in our community

o A severe impact on safety, particularly residents of the three adjacent seniors’ residences

o Greatly impeded access and longer wait times for emergency vehicles
