From the Niagara Falls Review:
A seven-storey condominium on River Road will be the kind of high-end residential development Niagara Falls has yet to see, but homeowners who have to live near it say it’s too big.
“Not too happy about this decision,” Otter Street resident Mike Baldasio said after a vote at Monday’s city council meeting. “We’re probably going to get together and see what we can do next.”
Baldasio is part of a group that has fought for two years against a developer’s plan to put a condo on the northwest corner of River Road and John Street, overlooking the Niagara gorge.
The condo city council approved Monday is about one-quarter the size of the 29-storey building proposed two years ago, but critics say it’s still too dense and doesn’t fit in with the neighbourhood.
Niagara This Week also had a story:
A new seven-storey condominium is set for construction on River Road despite strong opposition from local residents.
Approval for the controversial plan was given by council on Monday after both sides presented their case to city councillors.
“Residents have serious concerns about the impact construction will have on their homes,” said Tom Richardson, a lawyer hired by residents to stop construction or change the proposed plan.
For those wanting some background, I posted about this over 2 years ago…
Here is a screenshot from Google Maps showing where the condo would be:
