THUNDER BAY – A move to examine city-owned properties including parkland and parking lots for housing development sparked some heated rhetoric at city council Monday over the possibility of cutting into neighbourhood parks.
Etreni has maintained she wants only parklands or parking lots that are not heavily used to be considered, saying some parks are “within minutes of other parks” and contain areas she believes are rarely utilized by the public. “Since we own these lands, I hope we have the tools to ensure the development of the lands will result in more affordable and attainable housing, while balancing the concerns of the neighbourhood.”
Director of development services Joel DePeuter said the city sometimes puts such development conditions in place, but typically only with major properties considered strategically important to the city.
