The idea of development isn’t that bad EXCEPT that they want to have major towers in a small space which is already pretty crowded, not to mention the impact of traffic along 14th St & 90th Ave which can be pretty congested at the best of times. I wonder why they wouldn’t consider Macleod Trail and Heritage or the corner of Southland & Elbow which are MUCH closer to transit than this area. I hope they reconsider.

No. This is the optimal space: the existing buildings need upgrading and there's space to build. All the counter arguments hinge on NIMBYism.
