Was interesting and very well attended. I’d say 70-80 people were there, many from the buildings on Mill Street.
The comments ranged quite a bit. Lots of praise for affordable housing, but some concerns regarding the height and density on the south side. Some concerns about the proposed through street on the south side. A somewhat surprising reveal was that there’s a planned commercial parking lot on one floor, which didn’t please the anti-Christmas market congestion crowd.
There were some positive comments on materials. I think a consensus point was that the proposed POPS courtyard was not accessible or visible enough and would never be used by members of the public as a leisure space. Planning kept its cards to its chest but I have a feeling that feature might need revision.
Overall, the mood was respectful and I’m happy I attended.
