As someone that grew up on Carroll Street in the 90's I find this conversation very interesting.
While I find the townhouses to be an excellent project and similar projects in the City supportable, you do have to have some sympathy for the Carroll Street properties that have lost a lot of their privacy as the windows of these Washington homes do stare directly down onto their backyards. Plus, who would be happy with the City building a pathway through their home - preexisting easement or not.
Anyways, as a kid that used to visit my friends on Washington street/access the Goose by hopping backyard fences, the connector will be beneficial to the neighbourhood.
Here's my letter to council:
Dear City Council,
I’m Stacey Fitzsimmons, a resident of Washington Ave for the past decade, together with my husband and two kids ages 7 & 11. I’m thrilled to see on this week's agenda that Krista Loughton has proposed finishing the Doric Connector Pathway from Washington Ave to Balfour Avenue!
The new townhouse development you approved a few years ago has revitalized this street by adding many wonderful families to the area. This pathway is the final step to complete connections within Burnside Gorge. I’m especially excited that the pathway will allow kids from Washington Ave to safely walk to the zoned school for this street - Tillicum Elementary School, instead of requiring kids to walk along Gorge or Burnside. And vice versa - it will let families from Albany and Balfour access the goose and Cecelia ravine playground.
When the Washington townhouse development was approved, this pathway was a major benefit. The developer has already built most of the pathway, and all that’s needed is the final connection to Balfour to complete the project. I hope the City Council will support this important step to enhance our neighborhood.
Thank you for all you do to make this city great!
Sincerely,
Stacey Fitzsimmons
Resident of Washington Ave
Victoria, BC
That’s going to be a great benefit to the area.
